FAQs for Langley
Who inspects food businesses in Langley?
Kitchens in Langley are inspected by North Hertfordshire council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Will you come out to Langley?
Yes, Langley is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long does a kitchen deep clean take?
The kitchen’s size and equipment decide it, though a deep clean typically takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. We’ll confirm when we quote.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
We clean behind and under as much equipment as can be safely reached. Where an item is fixed we clean around it as fully as we can.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Langley
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely as that’s where grease and food debris gather. If you have build-up behind fryers and ovens and a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen, we can help.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Langley kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 28 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Langley. Kitchens like these build up grease behind and under equipment, on walls and on ceilings. Environmental health officers from North Hertfordshire council inspect food businesses in Langley. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Thomas Alleyne School or anywhere near Langley, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Knebworth House is about 1.3 miles south-east), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Lister Hospital, about 2.7 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Langley.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Langley
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Walls and ceilings
- Ranges and ovens
- Fryers and grills
- Behind and under equipment
- Floors and floor drains
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t let debris build up behind the line
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
A deep-cleaned kitchen is easier to keep clean. Keep up the routine, especially behind and under equipment where you can so build-up stays down.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Langley.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How the job changes from site to site
Walls and ceilings
Grease and steam rise and settle on walls and ceilings. We clean them from the top down so nothing drips onto clean areas.
Behind and under equipment
The areas behind and under equipment are where grime hides. We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move.
Leave it or put it right?
An inspection can come at any time. A kitchen with grime behind equipment and on ceilings is harder to defend, however good the daily routine. Keeping on top of it with deep cleans is far less stressful. In a small place like Langley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
