About our kitchen deep cleaning in Mottingham
A deep clean pairs well with a TR19® clean of the extract. The extract is cleaned inside, and the kitchen around it is cleaned too and the whole kitchen benefits. It can also be booked on its own, between extract cleans. Common call-outs are for a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean and a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit, on behind and under equipment, floors and floor drains and stainless steel surfaces.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In Mottingham, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If your building in Mottingham has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Commercial kitchens in Mottingham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 82 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 49 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mottingham. Kitchens like these build up grease behind and under equipment, on walls and on ceilings. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. Food hygiene inspections in Mottingham are the job of Lewisham council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Marvels Lane Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a café or takeaway near Grove Park station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something 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.
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
- Equipment that isn’t working properly
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Fryers and grills

How the job changes from site to site
Behind and under equipment
These areas are almost impossible to reach during daily cleaning, which is why build-up gets so bad.
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens that serve fixed mealtimes need careful planning. We plan around their hours.
Common problems we fix in Mottingham
Cooking releases grease with every service. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. Over weeks and months, it builds into a sticky layer.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floors with grease along the edges
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Eltham Community Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Mottingham.

Mottingham questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mottingham?
In Mottingham, it’s Lewisham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can the work in Mottingham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?
Cleanliness is one of the things inspectors assess. A deep clean is a good way to get on top of build-up, though it’s the daily routine that keeps it there.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
We can. Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean and the whole space is cleaned in one go. The extract clean comes with a certificate and photo report.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is Mottingham in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Mottingham included.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What affects the quote in Mottingham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
