About our kitchen deep cleaning in Hammerpot
Environmental health officers inspect the cleanliness of the whole premises. Greasy walls, dirty ceilings and grime behind equipment all count. A deep clean puts the whole kitchen in good order whenever it’s needed. The work covers ranges and ovens, behind and under equipment and floors and floor drains, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit and a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned.
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. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Do not let the extract cleaning slip
- Deal with spills right away
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
We finish with the floors and leave them dry and ready. Your team can come in and set up as normal when the kitchen opens.
If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and attracting pests.
Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in Hammerpot
Kitchens in Hammerpot, as anywhere, take a lot of punishment. Spills, splashes, steam and heat all leave their mark over time.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
- A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
For schools such as St Margaret's CofE Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.

Kitchens like these build up grease behind and under equipment, on walls and on ceilings. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hammerpot. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
