About our kitchen deep cleaning in Headington Quarry
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 and the time to do it properly. Typical jobs include floors with grease along the edges and baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills, on floors and floor drains, walls and ceilings and ranges and ovens.
In a place like Headington Quarry, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Headington Quarry kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 29 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in and around Headington Quarry, 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. It’s Oxford City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Headington Quarry. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, about 0.5 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Headington Quarry. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Headington Quarry Foundation Stage School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we’re called out for in Headington Quarry
Steam and condensation carry grease to ceilings and high walls. It darkens surfaces and can drip onto the area below.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- Floors with grease along the edges
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Headington Quarry, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Before you book anyone
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
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 can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Headington Quarry when you book.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
