Kitchen deep cleaning in Horney Common, 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’ve already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before any work starts. If you have greasy, slippery kitchen floors and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, we can put it right, from fryers and grills, stainless steel surfaces and ranges and ovens onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Horney Common
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Horney Common, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. In Horney Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you look after a hall kitchen near Christ Church or anywhere in Horney Common, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Common questions in Horney Common
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Horney Common?
In Horney Common, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Will you come out to Horney Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Horney Common is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
Behind and under the equipment is where the worst build-up is, so we reach it wherever it’s safe to do so. We will agree what’s movable before we start.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

After a look at the kitchen, from pictures or on site, we send you a fixed quote. Get in touch to arrange it and the quote is usually with you within one working day.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?

What else we do in Horney Common
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What the work involves, part by part
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens that serve fixed mealtimes need careful planning. We plan around their hours.
Canopy exteriors
Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. The outside of the canopy is cleaned with the rest of the kitchen.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
Once it’s deep cleaned, daily cleaning goes further. Keep up the routine, especially behind and under equipment where you can, and the next deep clean is lighter work.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Horney Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
