About our kitchen deep cleaning in High Leigh
The work runs from top to bottom. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last, so nothing falls onto surfaces we have already cleaned. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. Typical jobs include a kitchen taken over in poor condition and floors with grease along the edges, on ranges and ovens, floors and floor drains and behind and under equipment.
For a kitchen in or near High Leigh, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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 can quote for the whole system.

High Leigh kitchens: local notes
Look up High Leigh on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 food manufacturers and packers within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of High Leigh. Factories and packing rooms need deep cleaning planned around production runs. Kitchens in High Leigh get their food hygiene inspections from Broxbourne council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Catherine & St Paul or elsewhere in High Leigh may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Hertford County Hospital, about 3.5 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to High Leigh; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

When to call us in High Leigh
Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip onto the area below.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
- Food debris trapped under the range
- Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Westfield Community Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a survey comes first
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Deal with spills right away
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We go round the kitchen with you before we go.
A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well instead of chasing grime later.
What happens if it’s left?
Built-up grease around the cooking line is something that can burn. The longer it’s left, the more there is on top of what’s in the ductwork. Deep cleaning removes it. Somewhere as small as High Leigh, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the quote in High Leigh
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
High Leigh questions
Can school kitchens in High Leigh be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of High Leigh. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is High Leigh within the area you cover?
Yes, High Leigh is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?
The whole kitchen: walls, ceilings, floors and equipment, including behind and under equipment where it can be moved safely. We agree the exact scope with you before any work starts.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, and many kitchens do. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Should we deep clean before an environmental health visit?
Environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of the whole premises and equipment. Deep cleaning brings the hidden areas up to standard so the whole kitchen is in good order.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
