Kitchen deep cleaning in High Ongar

High Ongar questions

Will you come out to High Ongar?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Can you work in High Ongar outside opening hours?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

How much notice should we give?

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?

After a look at the kitchen, from photos or on site, we give you a fixed quote. Get in touch to arrange it and the quote is usually with you within one working day.

Do inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is?

Yes, inspectors look at the whole kitchen. We cannot promise a particular rating, but a deep clean puts the kitchen in good condition.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

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 on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

Kitchen deep cleaning in High Ongar, done properly

We clean from the ceiling down. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last, so nothing falls onto surfaces we have already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before work begins. We’re often asked to deal with grime behind and under cooking equipment and a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen, on behind and under equipment, stainless steel surfaces and fryers and grills.

Somewhere as small as High Ongar, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually 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.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold 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

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

How the job changes from site to site

Cooking equipment

Clean equipment is easier to keep clean and inspectors notice the difference.

Floors

A clean floor is safer for staff and makes the daily mop more effective.

Kitchen deep cleaning around High Ongar

The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around High Ongar, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s Epping Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in High Ongar. 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.

Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like High Ongar Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What we do, step by step

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to High Ongar is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
  2. Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
  3. We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
  4. Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
  5. We finish the floors and walk round with you.

Before we arrive

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Ask for a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in High Ongar

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

The symptoms we are asked about most include:

  • A kitchen that needs a clean start
  • Grease built up on walls and ceilings
  • Food debris that could attract pests
  • A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean

If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere in High Ongar, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • Whether they recommend a next date

Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in High Ongar

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The condition we find in the survey

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What to send for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

When something else is needed

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
  • Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
  • An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor

If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

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

What happens if it’s left?

A greasy kitchen is a harder place to work. Slippery floors and sticky surfaces make the job harder and less pleasant. A clean kitchen is safer and easier to run. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

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

Why book with us

  • A fixed price before any work starts
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • Trading since 2009
  • Fully insured
