Kitchen deep cleaning in New Cross, done properly
In New Cross, 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. The work covers ranges and ovens, walls and ceilings and behind and under equipment, and people most often call us about hardened deposits on kitchen equipment and a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps a kitchen in New Cross from adding to the problem.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in New Cross.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Different parts, different methods
Floors
Removing grease from the floor cuts slip risks and makes daily cleaning easier.
Cooking equipment
Once the build-up is gone, daily cleaning is easier and inspectors notice the difference.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Deal with spills right away
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
Floors are clean and dry by the time we have finished. Staff can get straight back to work at the start of the next shift.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and helps the equipment last.
Common problems we fix in New Cross
Ovens, ranges, grills and fryers build up baked-on deposits. A daily wipe-down does not touch the hardened layers and it thickens over time.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
If you run a kitchen near New Cross station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Kitchen deep cleaning around New Cross
There are about 434 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 273 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of New Cross, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease settles behind fryers, under ranges and on high surfaces in kitchens like these. Kitchens in New Cross get their food hygiene inspections from Lewisham council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Miller General Hospital, about 0.6 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to New Cross. Hall kitchens near St James's Church or elsewhere in New Cross may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What a clean won’t put right

- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service

- An infestation that needs specialist treatment

New Cross: your questions answered
What do you need to know about parking in New Cross?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in New Cross, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can you work in New Cross outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in New Cross keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

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

Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What should we do before the deep clean?
Clear away food and small items from the work areas before work begins. We’ll tell you anything else when we confirm the visit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
