We are often asked to deal with a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen and greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings, across behind and under equipment, stainless steel surfaces and walls and ceilings.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Kidlington are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.

Kidlington: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Kidlington?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in school kitchens around Kidlington out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 9 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Kidlington. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What should we do before the deep clean?
Very little. Move food and loose items away from the areas being cleaned, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.
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 you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes, we can. We can plan both on the same visit or over consecutive visits, depending on the size of the job.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What kitchen deep cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
- The inside of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Walls and ceilings
- Fryers and grills
- Behind and under equipment
- Floors and floor drains
- Ranges and ovens
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Deal with spills right away
It’s easy to set the next date while we are there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind between inspections.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and drawing pests in.
How the job changes from site to site
Walls and ceilings
Ceilings above the cooking line often darken with grease. We clean them along with the walls using methods suited to the surface.
School and care home kitchens
School kitchens can be deep cleaned during the holidays so the kitchen is ready when pupils return.
Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in Kidlington

- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon

If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Kidlington (the nearest hospital is Acland Hospital, about 4.3 miles south), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
