How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Lodsworth
Environmental health officers inspect the cleanliness of the whole premises. Greasy walls, dirty ceilings and grime behind equipment all count. A deep clean puts the whole kitchen in good order whenever it’s needed. The work covers floors and floor drains, ranges and ovens and fryers and grills, and people most often call us about a kitchen taken over in poor condition and baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills.
In a village or hamlet like Lodsworth, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Lodsworth: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Lodsworth?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lodsworth is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Lodsworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Lodsworth are carried out by Chichester council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Which areas does a deep clean cover?
It covers the full kitchen, from ceiling to floor. The exact list is agreed when we quote and it’s all in the fixed quote.
How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?
We give you a fixed price after looking at the kitchen. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange it and the quote is typically with you within one working day.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
Most deep cleans take one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites, including setting up and clearing away. It’s planned around your opening times.
Part by part
Behind and under equipment
Food debris behind equipment can attract pests. It’s one of the main reasons kitchens book deep cleans.
Canopy exteriors
Cleaning inside the extract system is a TR19 job. Many kitchens book both together.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lodsworth.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Mop right into the edges and corners
Anything we notice during the clean, such as worn flooring or a dirty extract, is pointed out. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.
Grease that’s left only gets harder to remove. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What a clean won’t put right
Kitchen deep cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Equipment that is not working properly
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Lodsworth?
Every service sends grease into the air. The canopy catches a lot of it, but some settles on walls, ceilings and equipment. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Floors with grease along the edges
- Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 2.4 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Lodsworth: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Lodsworth and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Lodsworth. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Lodsworth, such as a historic house like Cowdray House (about 2.4 miles south-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Lodsworth, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
