- Preparation for an EHO inspection
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Don’t let the extract cleaning slip
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
It’s easy to set the next date while we are there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind between inspections.
If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and attracting pests.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Highbrook
We clean from the ceiling down. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last so dirt does not land on areas already done. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. If you are dealing with a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned and grease built up on walls and ceilings, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Highbrook, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Highbrook
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Highbrook?
In Highbrook, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. 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.
Will you come out to Highbrook?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Highbrook included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Which areas does a deep clean cover?
Walls, floors, ceilings and cooking equipment, including behind and under equipment where it can be moved safely. The scope is agreed before the visit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes. A TR19® extract clean and a deep clean fit well together, so the whole kitchen is done at once. You get a TR19 certificate and photo report for the extract.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Highbrook before we set off.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt doesn’t fall on clean areas.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Common problems we fix in Highbrook
Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip back down.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Priest House is about 1.5 miles north), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
What your quote should include
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
