Kitchen deep cleaning in Howe Green, done properly
Think of a deep clean as a full check-up for the kitchen. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and hand the kitchen back ready for service. It’s a fresh start that is easier to keep on top of. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, floors and floor drains and walls and ceilings, and people most often call us about grease built up on walls and ceilings and floors with grease along the edges.
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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Deal with spills straight away
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Do not let debris build up behind the line
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We go round the kitchen with you before we go.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
Part by part
Behind and under equipment
Behind and beneath the cooking line, grease and food debris collect. We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move.
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens in schools, care homes and hospitals need cleaning that fits around mealtimes. We work outside meal service.
What kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning can’t restore
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Floors and floor drains
- Ranges and ovens
- Walls and ceilings
- Fryers and grills
- Behind and under equipment
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Why deal with it now?
In Howe Green, deep cleans can be fitted around the kitchen’s quieter times. Waiting for a problem means doing it in a hurry, often at a bad moment. In a place like Howe Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Howe Green: your questions answered
Can a school kitchen in Howe Green be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Howe Green. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Howe Green?
The local authority for Howe Green is Chelmsford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes, and many kitchens do. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
How much time does a deep clean need?
As a guide, it takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. A large or heavily soiled kitchen takes longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Howe Green before we set off.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
