Aftercare tips

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Don’t let debris build up behind the line
  • Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
  • Deal with spills straight away
  • Keep a cleaning schedule and record it

Floors are clean and dry by the time we’ve finished. Staff can get straight back to work when the kitchen opens.

If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and attracting pests.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Mapledurham, done properly

Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up and the time to do it properly. Typical jobs include a clean-up ahead of an inspection and grime in corners that pests could exploit, on fryers and grills, stainless steel surfaces and floors and floor drains.

Work in a small place like Mapledurham starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.

The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When it’s something else

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
  • An infestation that needs specialist treatment
  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Fryers and grills
  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Behind and under equipment
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Ranges and ovens

How the visit works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mapledurham run smoothly.

  1. A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
  2. We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
  3. We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
  4. We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
  5. The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Getting a quote

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Advice

Why act early in Mapledurham

In any kitchen in Mapledurham, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem, so many kitchens book both. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What affects the quote in Mapledurham

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • The times the site is available
  • How big the system is
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Helping us quote

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Mapledurham

There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mapledurham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease settles behind fryers, under ranges and on high surfaces in kitchens like these. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mapledurham. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. About 41 miles out from central London, Mapledurham is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.

A summer deep clean suits schools such as Purley CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Battle Hospital, about 2.5 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Mapledurham; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Mapledurham questions

Can the work in Mapledurham be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Mapledurham keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.

Can you get to a site in Mapledurham?

Yes, Mapledurham is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.

Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?

Yes, and many kitchens do. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.

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.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.

Do you provide a certificate or report?

Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.

Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in Mapledurham

Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip back down.

Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A clean-up ahead of an inspection
  • Grease built up on walls and ceilings
  • Cooking equipment caked in carbon
  • A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean

Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Margaret and Bardolf Aisle or anywhere around Mapledurham, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
