How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Hockenden
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely as that’s where grease and food debris gather. The work covers ranges and ovens, floors and floor drains and behind and under equipment, and the jobs we see most are a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned and food debris trapped under the range.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
Floors are clean and dry by the time we’ve finished. Your team can come in and set up as normal at the start of the next shift.
Old grease hardens with every service. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.

What happens if it’s left?
In any kitchen in Hockenden, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning the extract but not the room, or the other way round, only does half the job, so many kitchens book both. Planning a trip to Hockenden ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Hockenden?
The usual end-of-shift clean covers what’s in easy reach. Behind and under heavy equipment, high walls and ceilings rarely get the same attention, and that is where the build-up grows.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hockenden, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hockenden.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Hockenden kitchens: local notes

Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Hockenden. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Hockenden, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hockenden?
The local authority for Hockenden is Sevenoaks council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, and many kitchens do. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
