- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding

Kitchen deep cleaning in Ivy Chimneys
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. From there, the daily routine is easier to keep up. If you have preparation for an EHO inspection and grease stains on walls near the cooking line, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Ivy Chimneys, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Common questions in Ivy Chimneys
Can school kitchens in Ivy Chimneys be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Ivy Chimneys. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Ivy Chimneys?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Ivy Chimneys does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is there anything we have to do beforehand?
Put food, utensils and small items away before we start. Anything else we need, we will mention in advance.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?
It takes in the places daily cleaning doesn’t reach, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. The cooking equipment is cleaned too.
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
- Do not wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Deal with spills right away
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We walk round with you or your manager to check everything is as agreed.
A regular plan means build-up never gets out of hand. Pairing them with TR19 extract cleaning covers the room and the system together.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Ivy Chimneys and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.

Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Ivy Chimneys?
Cooking releases grease with every service. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. Over weeks and months, it builds into a sticky layer.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- Floors with grease along the edges
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; St. Margaret's Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Ivy Chimneys.
