Kitchen deep cleaning in Lordswood, done properly
An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Greasy walls, dirty ceilings and grime behind equipment all count. A deep clean puts the whole kitchen in good order before or after an inspection. If you’re dealing with hardened deposits on kitchen equipment and grime behind and under cooking equipment, we can help, from fryers and grills, walls and ceilings and floors and floor drains onwards.
Around a place like Lordswood, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Lordswood: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 pubs and bars in Lordswood and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Lordswood are the job of Medway council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Medway Maritime Hospital, about 3 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Lordswood. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St David's Church or elsewhere in Lordswood, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Do not wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Do not let the extract cleaning slip
The kitchen is handed back ready for the next service. We go round the kitchen with you to check everything is as agreed.
Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.
Lordswood: your questions answered
Can you work in school kitchens in Lordswood during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Lordswood, the Food Standards Agency lists about 15 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Can the work in Lordswood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Lordswood does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much time does a deep clean need?
That comes down to the kitchen, and a deep clean normally takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. We’ll confirm when we quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Appliance breakdowns
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Floors and floor drains
- Walls and ceilings
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Behind and under equipment
- Ranges and ovens
- Fryers and grills
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Lordswood and across Medway. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we are called out for in Lordswood
Food debris falls behind and under equipment. Mixed with grease, it forms a layer that can attract pests unless it’s cleaned out.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- Food debris that could attract pests
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Lordswood, such as a historic house like Restoration House (about 3.9 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. In a smaller place like Lordswood, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt does not fall on clean areas.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Why deal with it now?
In any kitchen in Lordswood, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem and that’s why many kitchens plan the two together. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
