What the work involves, part by part

Behind and under equipment
The areas behind and under equipment are where grime hides. We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Mark Cross
Our deep cleans in Mark Cross cover kitchens of all kinds, whatever the size of the operation. We agree what’s included before the visit and quote a fixed price. If you have food debris trapped under the range and a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit, we can put it right.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in Mark Cross
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What happens on the day
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Mark Cross before we set off.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt doesn’t fall on clean areas.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
A deep-cleaned kitchen is easier to keep clean. Keep up the routine, especially behind and under equipment where you can so build-up stays down.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and helps the equipment last.
Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Mark Cross

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Mark Cross can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mark Cross?
Food hygiene inspections in Mark Cross are carried out by Wealden council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?
Cleanliness is one of the things inspectors assess. Deep cleaning takes care of grime in the places that are easy to miss and good daily cleaning keeps it that way.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
