What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning

There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How big the system is

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Helping us quote

You do not need the technical terms. Just send:

  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Lickfold

Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean. We clean the extract system and the room it serves and the whole kitchen benefits. It can also be booked on its own, between extract cleans. If you have grease stains on walls near the cooking line and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, we can put it right, from walls and ceilings, fryers and grills and behind and under equipment onwards.

In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.

We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Looking after it afterwards

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
  • Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
  • Keep the extract running while you cook
  • Keep a cleaning schedule and record it

Floors are clean and dry by the time we’ve finished. Your team can come in and set up as normal at the start of the next shift.

Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lickfold

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lickfold

An inspection can come at any time. Build-up in hidden areas is the kind of thing inspectors notice even when the daily clean is good. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. In a small place like Lickfold, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What staff can safely do

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

FAQs for Lickfold

Which environmental health team covers Lickfold?

Food hygiene inspections in Lickfold are carried out by Chichester council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.

Is Lickfold within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

What does TR19 mean?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

The process

There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lickfold.

  1. We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
  2. Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
  3. We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
  4. Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
  5. We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
