- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Floors and floor drains

- Fryers and grills
- Walls and ceilings

Kitchen deep cleaning in Jacob's Post
Every deep clean we carry out in Jacob's Post takes in the whole kitchen: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it as that’s where grease and food debris gather. If you have a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Jacob's Post, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Visits to a village like Jacob's Post are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
- Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
- Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
- The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What else we do in Jacob's Post
Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Jacob's Post?
Crumbs and scraps end up behind the cooking line. Mixed with grease, it forms a layer that can attract pests unless it’s cleaned out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
A summer deep clean suits schools such as The Gattons Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos

Do you work in Jacob's Post?
Yes. Jacob's Post is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How much time does a deep clean need?
As a guide, it takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. A large or heavily soiled kitchen takes longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How the job changes from site to site
Behind and under equipment
These areas are almost impossible to reach during daily cleaning, which is why build-up gets so bad.
Canopy exteriors
The inside of the canopy, the plenum and the ducts need a TR19 clean. Many kitchens book both together.
Why it’s worth doing now in Jacob's Post
In any kitchen in Jacob's Post, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning the extract but not the room, or the other way round, only does half the job, so many kitchens book both. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost 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 you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
- Deal with spills straight away
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
We put equipment back where it belongs so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that from then on.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
