Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Greenstead
Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up, along with the time and access a daily clean doesn’t have. Common call-outs are for a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned and grime in corners that pests could exploit, across floors and floor drains, stainless steel surfaces and fryers and grills.
In a place like Greenstead, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why deal with it now?
The longer grease is left, the harder it is to remove. Regular deep cleans are easier than rescuing a neglected kitchen, and surfaces last better. Around Greenstead, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. For a place like Greenstead, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
- Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
- Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
- Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
It’s easy to set the next date while we’re there. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean between inspections.
Old grease hardens with every service. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.

Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Environmental health officers from Colchester council inspect food businesses in Greenstead.
