FAQs for Long Wittenham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Long Wittenham?
In Long Wittenham, it’s South Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Is Long Wittenham within the area you cover?
Yes. Long Wittenham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Just put away food and small items, and let us in. Cooking equipment needs to be switched off and allowed to cool before we start.
Can you clean outside our opening hours?
We book it for when you are closed. Deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed and leave the kitchen ready for the next shift.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
Most deep cleans take a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one including the floors at the end. It’s planned around your opening times.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Long Wittenham
Old, baked-on grease does not come off with a wipe. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up and the time to do it properly. The work covers ranges and ovens, behind and under equipment and walls and ceilings, and the jobs we see most are a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean and hardened deposits on kitchen equipment.
Somewhere as small as Long Wittenham, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Deal with spills straight away
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We walk round with you or your manager before we go.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Long Wittenham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt does not fall on clean areas.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What we are called out for in Long Wittenham

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- Food debris that could attract pests
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Long Wittenham (Church of England) Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

What happens if it’s left?
Built-up grease around the cooking line is something that can burn. Leaving it adds to the fire risk in the kitchen, alongside the grease in the extract. Deep cleaning removes it. In a small place like Long Wittenham, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
