Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Herne Pound
We clean from the ceiling down. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last, so nothing falls onto surfaces we’ve already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before we start. The work covers behind and under equipment, ranges and ovens and fryers and grills, and people most often call us about a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen and a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit.
Somewhere as small as Herne Pound, the kitchens that need a deep clean are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Wipe splashes before they harden
Anything we notice during the clean, such as worn flooring or a dirty extract, is pointed out. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.
A regular plan means build-up never gets out of hand. Pairing them with TR19 extract cleaning covers the room and the system together.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Herne Pound can be planned properly.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
Walls and ceilings
Ceilings above the cooking line often darken with grease. We clean them along with the walls in a way that suits the finish.
Canopy exteriors
The outside of the canopy collects grease and dust. The outside of the canopy is cleaned with the rest of the kitchen.

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Herne Pound
Can you work in Herne Pound outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Herne Pound?
Kitchens in Herne Pound are inspected by Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
Behind and under the equipment is where the worst build-up is, so it’s a priority. We will agree what’s movable before work begins.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?
No two kitchens are the same, so we need to see what’s involved first. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in Herne Pound
The usual end-of-shift clean covers what’s in easy reach. Areas behind ranges and fryers, and high-level surfaces, tend to be missed so grease and debris accumulate there.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
- Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Herne Pound, such as a historic house like Old Soar Manor (about 2.5 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
