How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Lenham

A deep clean is the kitchen’s full treatment. The hidden corners get as much attention as the obvious ones and leave the kitchen ready to cook. It’s a fresh start that’s easier to keep on top of. The work covers walls and ceilings, ranges and ovens and fryers and grills, and the jobs we see most are grease stains on walls near the cooking line and cooking equipment caked in carbon.

In a place like Lenham, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site

Canopy exteriors

Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. We clean the exterior as part of the deep clean.

Floors

Grease builds up along the edges and under equipment. We pay particular attention there.

What we’re called out for in Lenham

The usual end-of-shift clean covers what’s in easy reach. Behind and under heavy equipment, high walls and ceilings rarely get the same attention so grease and debris accumulate there.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A clean-up ahead of an inspection
  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
  • A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean

Leeds Castle, about 3.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses around Lenham; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What happens if it’s left?

In any kitchen in Lenham, 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. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

  • Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
  • Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
  • A written report with photos after every visit

Kitchen deep cleaning around Lenham

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Lenham, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In Lenham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

Where a church or community hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Lenham, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. For schools such as Lenham Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

Lenham: your questions answered

Can the work in Lenham be done at night or at weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Lenham can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Which council inspects kitchens in Lenham?

Food hygiene inspections in Lenham are carried out by Maidstone council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?

Yes, inspectors look at the whole kitchen. No clean can promise a rating, but a deep clean puts the kitchen in good condition.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What happens to the waste?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?

We clean the whole kitchen from top to bottom. You will know exactly what’s included before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What happens on the day

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Everything the job in Lenham needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.

  1. First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
  2. Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
  3. Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
  4. The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
  5. Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Getting a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • The scale of the work
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The number of sites or systems
  • How easy every part is to reach

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What to send for a quote

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The site address and the type of premises

To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
