Common problems we fix in Great Chesterford

In Great Chesterford and everywhere else, a working kitchen takes a hammering. Heat, steam, spills and splashes all add up over time.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
  • Food debris trapped under the range
  • Floors with grease along the edges
  • A kitchen taken over in poor condition

Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

For landlords and multi-site operators

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Great Chesterford and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

What affects the quote in Great Chesterford

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • The condition of the system
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • A single visit or a regular plan

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What to send for a quote

You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

Keeping the system healthy

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
  • Don’t let the extract cleaning slip
  • Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
  • Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so

Once it’s deep cleaned, daily cleaning goes further. Keep on top of the daily routine so build-up stays down.

Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and drawing pests in.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What the work involves, part by part

School and care home kitchens

School holidays are a good time for a deep clean so the kitchen is ready when pupils return.

Walls and ceilings

Walls and ceilings collect grease carried up by heat and steam. We clean them from the top down, protecting the areas below.

Questions from Great Chesterford

Which environmental health team covers Great Chesterford?

Food hygiene inspections in Great Chesterford are carried out by Uttlesford council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.

Do you work in school kitchens around Great Chesterford out of term?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Great Chesterford. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

How much time does a deep clean need?

Typically, a deep clean takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. A large or heavily soiled kitchen takes longer and we’ll say so when we quote.

How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?

We give you a fixed price after looking at the kitchen. Get in touch to arrange it, and it’s typically back within one working day.

Can you clean outside our opening hours?

We book it for when you are closed. We clean outside service times, and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.

What is TR19?

A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
