Kitchen deep cleaning around Meopham

There are about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways in and around Meopham, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them has corners the daily clean doesn’t reach. Environmental health officers from Gravesham council inspect food businesses in Meopham. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Meopham Community Academy or anywhere near Meopham, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you serve passing trade near Meopham station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Meopham, done properly

Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean. We clean the extract system and the room it serves and the whole kitchen benefits. It works on its own as well, between extract cleans. If you’re dealing with a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean and grime in corners that pests could exploit, we can put it right, from behind and under equipment, walls and ceilings and floors and floor drains onwards.

In a smaller place like Meopham, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens if it’s left?

The longer grease is left, the harder it is to remove. A kitchen deep cleaned regularly is quicker to clean each time and surfaces stay in better condition. A site near Meopham that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations and certificates.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

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 will go through it with you.

Helping us quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:

  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The postcode and the type of business

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Keeping the system healthy

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
  • Keep the extract running while you cook
  • Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
  • Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired

A deep-cleaned kitchen is easier to keep clean. Keep up the routine, especially behind and under equipment where you can, and the next deep clean is lighter work.

Old grease hardens with every service. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What we do, step by step

Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Your opening hours decide when we come to Meopham, not ours.

  1. We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
  2. Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
  3. We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
  4. The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
  5. Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Meopham

Can you get to a site in Meopham?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Meopham is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Which environmental health team covers Meopham?

Food hygiene inspections in Meopham are carried out by Gravesham council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.

What about areas you can’t get to?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

How much time does a deep clean need?

A typical kitchen takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it including the floors at the end. It’s planned around your opening times.

Which sectors do you work in?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

How do you protect the area?

We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

When to call us in Meopham

Crumbs and scraps end up behind the cooking line. Mixed with grease, it forms a layer that can attract pests if it is not cleared.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Floors with grease along the edges
  • A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
  • A kitchen that needs a clean start

If you look after a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere in Meopham, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What records you’ll receive afterwards
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
