About our kitchen deep cleaning in Hook's Cross
For kitchens in Hook's Cross, we plan deep cleans around service. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the kitchen is ready for the next service. Schools can book during the holidays. Common call-outs are for grime in corners that pests could exploit and baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills, across behind and under equipment, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed
Kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning cannot restore
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. In a small place like Hook's Cross, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Related advice
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t let debris build up behind the line
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
Once it’s deep cleaned, daily cleaning goes further. Keep on top of the daily routine so build-up stays down.
A regular plan means build-up never gets out of hand. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.
When to call us in Hook's Cross
The usual end-of-shift clean covers what’s in easy reach. Areas behind ranges and fryers, and high-level surfaces, tend to be missed so grease and debris accumulate there.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Barnwell School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
