When to call us in Islington
Every service sends grease into the air. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
For busy kitchens close to Essex Road station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Islington
The work runs from top to bottom. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors so dirt doesn’t land on areas already done. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. We’re often asked to deal with build-up behind fryers and ovens and food debris that could attract pests, on behind and under equipment, ranges and ovens and walls and ceilings.
London’s sewers are known for fatbergs, built up from fat, oil and grease washed down drains. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

FAQs for Islington
Do you clean school kitchens in Islington in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 70 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Islington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who inspects food businesses in Islington?
The local authority for Islington is Islington council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Just put away food and small items, and let us in. Cooking equipment needs to be switched off and allowed to cool when we arrive.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How long does a kitchen deep clean take?
As a guide, it takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Bigger kitchens or heavy build-up need more time and we’ll say so when we quote.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
If we spot anything that needs attention, like damaged surfaces or a greasy canopy, we tell you. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.
Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Pairing them with TR19 extract cleaning keeps the whole kitchen on track.
Kitchen deep cleaning around Islington
Food Standards Agency records list about 31 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Islington. Production areas collect grease and dust on high surfaces and equipment, which a deep clean deals with. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. In Islington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Islington council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Hall kitchens near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Islington may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like King's College Hospital Charity about 0.7 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

What staff can safely do
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Floors
Removing grease from the floor cuts slip risks and makes the daily mop more effective.
School and care home kitchens
School holidays are a good time for a deep clean, ready for the new term.
What affects the quote in Islington
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Islington.
- 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
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a 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.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
