How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Ifield
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it, because that’s where the worst build-up hides. Typical jobs include build-up behind fryers and ovens and a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean, on ranges and ovens, floors and floor drains and fryers and grills.
Work in a smaller place like Ifield is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What else we do in Ifield
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not let the extract cleaning slip
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
Once it’s deep cleaned, daily cleaning goes further. Keep on top of the daily routine so build-up stays down.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
Walls and ceilings
The ceiling near the cooking line takes the brunt. They’re cleaned as part of the deep clean using methods suited to the surface.
Cooking equipment
Baked-on grease and carbon build up on cooking equipment. They’re removed in a way that suits each appliance.
Ifield questions
Can you work in Ifield outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Ifield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ifield is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?
Environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of the whole premises and equipment. A deep clean deals with the areas daily cleaning misses, which helps you present a clean kitchen.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
- The inside of the extract system
- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Ranges and ovens
- Walls and ceilings
- Fryers and grills
- Behind and under equipment
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Floors and floor drains
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Production areas need periodic deep cleaning too, high-level surfaces and equipment included. Food hygiene inspections in Ifield are the job of Crawley council’s environmental health team.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. In a place like Ifield, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt doesn’t fall on clean areas.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
