Common reasons sites call us include:
- Floors with grease along the edges
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
Sevenoaks Hospital, about less than half a mile south-west, is the nearest hospital to Greatness; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Greatness, done properly
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely as that is where grease and food debris gather. If you are dealing with a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and hardened deposits on kitchen equipment, we can put it right, from fryers and grills, ranges and ovens and walls and ceilings onwards.
In a place like Greatness, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Never cook with the extract switched off
Once it’s deep cleaned, daily cleaning goes further. Keep on top of the daily routine so build-up stays down.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start instead of chasing grime later.
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. In a place like Greatness, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- 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.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Why act early in Greatness
Environmental health visits are not always announced in advance. Build-up in hidden areas is the kind of thing inspectors notice even when the daily clean is good. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Common questions in Greatness
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Greatness?
Food hygiene inspections in Greatness are carried out by Sevenoaks council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you come to Greatness after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Greatness does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is?
Cleanliness is one of the things inspectors assess. A deep clean is a good way to get on top of build-up and good daily cleaning keeps it that way.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?
It takes in the places daily cleaning doesn’t reach, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. Equipment is cleaned inside and out.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Greatness: local notes
There are about 51 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 18 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Greatness, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. It’s Sevenoaks council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Greatness. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
For schools such as St John's Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays. If you run a kitchen near Bat & Ball station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.
