- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- Floors with grease along the edges
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Great Dunmow
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely as that is where grease and food debris gather. If you have greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings and food debris that could attract pests, we can put it right, from floors and floor drains, behind and under equipment and walls and ceilings onwards.
Around a place like Great Dunmow, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. The longer it’s left, the more there is, alongside the grease in the extract. Deep cleaning removes it. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Great Dunmow at a time that suits you.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a smaller place like Great Dunmow, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt doesn’t fall on clean areas.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
- Mop right into the edges and corners
We finish with the floors and leave them dry and ready. Staff can get straight back to work when the kitchen opens.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
