Kitchen deep cleaning near North Heath

For landlords and multi-site operators

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.

Kitchen deep cleaning in North Heath

An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Build-up on walls, ceilings and behind equipment is part of what they see. A deep clean puts the whole kitchen in good order whenever it’s needed. We’re often asked to deal with a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen and food debris that could attract pests, across behind and under equipment, fryers and grills and stainless steel surfaces.

Somewhere as small as North Heath, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.

The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

What affects the quote in North Heath

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • What state the system is in
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • The times the site is available
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The postcode and the type of business

For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

What we do, step by step

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to North Heath.

  1. We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
  2. We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
  3. Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
  4. Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
  5. The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.

How to prepare

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

When to call us in North Heath

Cooking releases grease with every service. Some is caught by the extract, but some settles on walls, ceilings and equipment. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.

The symptoms we’re asked about most include:

  • Signs of pests drawn by food debris
  • Preparation for an EHO inspection
  • Floors with grease along the edges
  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings

If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Shaw House is about 3.8 miles south), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Part by part

Floors

Grease builds up along the edges and under equipment. We pay particular attention there.

Cooking equipment

Once the build-up is gone, daily cleaning is easier and inspectors notice the difference.

When it’s something else

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
  • An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

What the work covers

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Wipe splashes before they harden
  • Write down what gets cleaned and when
  • Plan the next deep clean in advance
  • Repair worn surfaces that trap grime

When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We go round the kitchen with you to check everything is as agreed.

Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in North Heath

Do you work in school kitchens around North Heath out of term?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around North Heath, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.

Do you work overnight in North Heath?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in North Heath keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

How much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

How long will the kitchen be out of use?

Most deep cleans take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen, including setting up and clearing away. It’s planned around your opening times.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

Do you do the kitchen and extract together?

Yes, and many kitchens do. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.

What does TR19 mean?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
