What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean

How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Lower Upnor
In Lower Upnor, we fit deep cleans around the hours the kitchen cooks. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend so there’s no lost trade. School kitchens are often done in the holidays. If you have a kitchen taken over in poor condition and baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills, we can put it right, from ranges and ovens, behind and under equipment and stainless steel surfaces onwards.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Lower Upnor
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs and bars across Lower Upnor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Lower Upnor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Medway council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Restoration House is about 2 miles south-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Philip & St James or elsewhere in Lower Upnor, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Questions from Lower Upnor
Will you come out to Lower Upnor?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lower Upnor is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Lower Upnor be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Lower Upnor keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much time does a deep clean need?
The kitchen’s size and equipment decide it, though a deep clean typically takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. We will confirm when we quote.
Should we deep clean before an environmental health visit?
Inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is, including equipment. Deep cleaning brings the hidden areas up to standard, which helps you present a clean kitchen.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is there anything we have to do beforehand?
Clear away food and small items from the work areas so they’re out of the way. Anything else we need, we’ll mention in advance.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Upnor
The longer grease is left, the harder it is to remove. Regular deep cleans are easier than rescuing a neglected kitchen, and surfaces last better. With notice, the visit to Lower Upnor can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Common problems we fix in Lower Upnor
When the kitchen is flat out, cleaning shrinks to the basics. A few busy weeks in Lower Upnor or anywhere else are enough for grime to build behind and above the equipment.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Floors with grease along the edges
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chattenden Primary School or anywhere near Lower Upnor, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lower Upnor.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
