About our kitchen deep cleaning in Great Thorness
Old, baked-on grease does not come off with a wipe. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface, along with the time and access a daily clean does not have. The work covers floors and floor drains, fryers and grills and stainless steel surfaces, and people most often call us about a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit and a kitchen taken over in poor condition.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Great Thorness
Food debris and grease in hidden corners can draw pests in. Cleaning it out removes what they’re looking for and prevention is much easier than cure. In a small place like Great Thorness, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Great Thorness, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Great Thorness
Do you work overnight in Great Thorness?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Great Thorness?
That is Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Great Thorness. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
Most deep cleans take several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it including the floors at the end. We plan it to finish before your next service.
Can you give me a price for a deep clean?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to see what’s involved first. Kitchen deep cleaning is quoted at a fixed price, typically within one working day.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What we’re called out for in Great Thorness
Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. A daily wipe-down does not touch the hardened layers, so it builds up underneath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Swainston Manor is about 3 miles south), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
What to look for in a quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

What the work involves, part by part
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens in schools, care homes and hospitals need cleaning that fits around mealtimes. We work outside meal service.
Walls and ceilings
Grease and steam rise and settle on walls and ceilings. They’re cleaned first, working downwards, protecting the areas below.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Don’t let the extract cleaning slip
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Do not wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
A deep-cleaned kitchen is easier to keep clean. Keep up the routine, especially behind and under equipment where you can 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.
