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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
About our kitchen deep cleaning in Hawthorn
The work runs from top to bottom. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last so dirt does not land on areas already done. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. If you are dealing with greasy, slippery kitchen floors and a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit, we can put it right.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Hawthorn
Which council inspects kitchens in Hawthorn?
The local authority for Hawthorn is Canterbury City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Will you come out to Hawthorn?
Yes, Hawthorn is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
When can you do the deep clean?
It’s timed for when the kitchen isn’t cooking. We clean outside service times and leave the kitchen ready for the next shift.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
The kitchen’s size and equipment decide it, though a deep clean typically takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. You will know before we start.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
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
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What we are called out for in Hawthorn
Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip back down.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hawthorn, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Comparing quotes
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
Equipment is put back in place before we leave, ready for your staff to check and start up. Nothing special is needed after that from then on.
A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Equipment that is not working properly
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Walls and ceilings
- Fryers and grills

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Hawthorn
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around Hawthorn, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Hawthorn, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Canterbury City council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. Hawthorn, about 56 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 5.4 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Reculver Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
