FAQs for Hersden

Which environmental health team covers Hersden?

That’s Canterbury City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hersden. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.

Do you work at weekends in Hersden?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hersden needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Which accreditations do you hold?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Where does the waste go?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Hersden: local notes

Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Hersden, 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 Canterbury City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hersden. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

A summer deep clean suits schools such as Hersden Village Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; St Martins Hospital, about 3.4 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Hersden.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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, which is where we come in.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

When it’s something else

Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:

  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
  • Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on in Hersden

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

Common problems we fix in Hersden

In Hersden and everywhere else, a working kitchen takes a hammering. Spills, splashes, steam and heat all leave their mark over time.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Signs of pests drawn by food debris
  • A kitchen that needs a clean start
  • A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
  • Grease stains on walls near the cooking line

Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Hersden may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. For a place like Hersden, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.

  1. First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
  2. We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
  3. High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
  4. Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
  5. We finish the floors and walk round with you.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Keeping the system healthy

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
  • Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
  • Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
  • Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean

It’s easy to set the next date while we are there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind between inspections.

Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and protects the surfaces.

What affects the quote in Hersden

Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
