Multi-site and managed buildings

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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hythe and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Hythe

Every deep clean we carry out in Hythe takes in the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely, because that is where the worst build-up hides. The work covers walls and ceilings, ranges and ovens and stainless steel surfaces, and people most often call us about a kitchen that needs a clean start and preparation for an EHO inspection.

In a town like Hythe, deep cleans and grease trap work usually mean restaurants, pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. All of them collect grease behind and under equipment.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Commercial kitchens in Hythe

The FSA’s data shows about 18 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses registered in and around Hythe, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s Folkestone and Hythe council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hythe. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

A summer deep clean suits schools such as Hythe Bay CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Hythe, such as a historic house like Westenhanger Castle (about 2.7 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

What we’re called out for in Hythe

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.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
  • A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
  • A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings

Royal Victoria Hospital, about 4.1 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Hythe; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Questions to ask before you book

  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • Proof of insurance
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

Questions to ask before you book

What affects the quote in Hythe

Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • The number of sites or systems
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When it’s something else

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Pests already in the kitchen
  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Ranges and ovens
  • Fryers and grills
  • Behind and under equipment

Why act early in Hythe

Staff notice when a kitchen is grimy. Greasy floors are a slip risk and sticky surfaces slow everyone down and more tiring. Deep cleaning gives the team a better place to work. Booking now keeps it a routine visit to Hythe rather than an urgent one.

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Why book with us

  • Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • In business since 2009
  • A written report with photos after each visit

See what affects the cost and our accreditations.

Keeping the system healthy

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:

  • Clean behind movable equipment regularly
  • Write down what gets cleaned and when
  • Run the extract whenever the range is on
  • Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed

Floors are clean and dry by the time we have finished. Your team can come in and set up as normal at the start of the next shift.

If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and drawing pests in.

Hythe questions

Can school kitchens in Hythe be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hythe, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.

Can you come to Hythe after we close?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Hythe doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Can you give me a price for a deep clean?

It depends on the size of the kitchen, the equipment and how much build-up there is. Send us photos or details, or we can visit, and you’ll get a fixed quote.

What happens to the waste?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

Do you work in Hythe?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Hythe.

How long will the kitchen be out of use?

A typical kitchen takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen including the floors at the end. It’s planned around your opening times.

Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?

We clean behind and under as much equipment as can be safely reached. If something can’t be moved safely we clean around it as fully as we can.

What we do, step by step

Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. A few pictures of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Hythe.

  1. A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
  2. Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
  3. Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
  4. We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
  5. Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

How to get a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
