Kitchen deep cleaning in Hatfield Hyde

For kitchens in Hatfield Hyde, we plan deep cleans around service. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend so there’s no lost trade. Schools can book during the holidays. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, behind and under equipment and walls and ceilings, and people most often call us about signs of pests drawn by food debris and grease stains on walls near the cooking line.

Kitchens around a smaller place like Hatfield Hyde are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common problems we fix in Hatfield Hyde

When the kitchen is flat out, cleaning shrinks to the basics. Weeks of that, wherever the kitchen is in Hatfield Hyde, let grime build in the hard-to-reach places.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
  • Preparation for an EHO inspection
  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills

If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hatfield House is about 1.7 miles south-west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • Whether VAT is included

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

When it’s something else

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • The inside of the extract system
  • An infestation that needs specialist treatment
  • Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Ranges and ovens
  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Behind and under equipment
  • Fryers and grills
  • Walls and ceilings

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

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 come back with a fixed quote.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Leave it or put it right?

In Hatfield Hyde, as elsewhere, grease does not stay in one place. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem and that is why many kitchens plan the two together. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

Why us?

  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • We are fully insured
  • Photo reports with every job

The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. In Hatfield Hyde, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Welwyn Hatfield council.

Common questions in Hatfield Hyde

Do you work at weekends in Hatfield Hyde?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hatfield Hyde needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Can a school kitchen in Hatfield Hyde be done out of term time?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 16 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hatfield Hyde. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.

What about areas you can’t get to?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Can you clean the extract at the same time?

We can. A TR19® extract clean and a deep clean fit well together, so the whole kitchen is done at once. You get a TR19 certificate and photo report for the extract.

Can you give me a price for a deep clean?

After a look at the kitchen, from photos or on site, we send you a fixed quote. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will arrange it, and it’s normally back within one working day.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Part by part

Walls and ceilings

The ceiling near the cooking line takes the brunt. We clean them along with the walls using methods suited to the surface.

Canopy exteriors

Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. We clean the exterior as part of the deep clean.

The process

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Tell us when your site near Hatfield Hyde is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.

  1. We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
  2. We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
  3. We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
  4. We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
  5. Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Find the previous report, if there is one

Getting a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
