Aftercare tips

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Wipe splashes before they harden
  • Mop right into the edges and corners
  • Never cook with the extract switched off
  • Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so

It’s easy to set the next date while we’re 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 helps the equipment last.

Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in High Barnet

In High Barnet, we fit deep cleans around the hours the kitchen cooks. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends so there’s no lost trade. Schools can book during the holidays. Common call-outs are for a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit and a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean, across walls and ceilings, ranges and ovens and floors and floor drains.

Every food business in London is inspected by its local council’s environmental health officers, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. A deep clean ahead of an inspection, or after one, is a common reason kitchens in High Barnet get in touch.

We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Common problems we fix in High Barnet

Ovens, ranges, grills and fryers build up baked-on deposits. A daily wipe-down doesn’t touch the hardened layers, so it builds up underneath.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A kitchen that needs a clean start
  • A clean-up ahead of an inspection
  • A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
  • Cooking equipment caked in carbon

Wyllyotts Manor, about 2.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses around High Barnet; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

Common questions in High Barnet

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in High Barnet?

Kitchens in High Barnet are inspected by Barnet council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

Is parking a problem for work in High Barnet?

London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.

What does TR19 mean?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Should we deep clean before an environmental health visit?

Yes, inspectors look at the whole kitchen. We can’t promise a particular rating but a deep clean gives you a clean starting point.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

Will the deep clean disrupt service?

We book it for when you are closed. Deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed and leave the kitchen ready for the next shift.

Where does the waste go?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

Commercial kitchens in High Barnet

The FSA’s data shows about 22 pubs, bars and clubs registered in High Barnet and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in High Barnet get their food hygiene inspections from Barnet council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.

Hall and church kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around High Barnet, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. For schools such as Foulds School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

What happens on the day

We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in High Barnet is typically out of hours.

  1. First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
  2. Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
  3. Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
  4. We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
  5. We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What kitchen deep cleaning can’t fix

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
  • 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.

  • Behind and under equipment
  • Stainless steel surfaces

  • Ranges and ovens
  • Fryers and grills

Managing agents and facilities teams in High Barnet

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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. Leave those to us.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Leave it or put it right?

Grime behind and under equipment can attract pests. A deep clean takes away the food source, which is far better than dealing with an infestation. Planning ahead in High Barnet lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
