Kitchen deep cleaning in North Woolwich

Different parts, different methods

Behind and under equipment

The areas behind and under equipment are where grime hides. Where equipment can be moved safely, we move it and clean underneath.

Canopy exteriors

A clean canopy shows right away. Cleaning it with the rest of the kitchen finishes the job properly.

How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in North Woolwich

Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen running, but it doesn’t reach everything. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. Our deep clean goes after every one of those areas in one planned visit. The work covers ranges and ovens, floors and floor drains and fryers and grills, and the jobs we see most are greasy, slippery kitchen floors and build-up behind fryers and ovens.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In North Woolwich, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight.

Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in North Woolwich

The Food Standards Agency lists about 23 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 13 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around North Woolwich, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day. Kitchens in North Woolwich get their food hygiene inspections from Newham council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

School kitchens, at schools like Oasis Academy Silvertown for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John's Church or elsewhere in North Woolwich, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as British Hospital for Mothers and Babies (about 0.8 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Between visits

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

  • Write down what gets cleaned and when
  • Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
  • Never cook with the extract switched off
  • Plan the next deep clean in advance

A deep-cleaned kitchen is easier to keep clean. Keep on top of the daily routine, 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 in shape for an EHO visit.

What kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix

Kitchen deep cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:

  • Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
  • The inside of the extract system
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding

If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Where we work

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

North Woolwich: your questions answered

What do you need to know about parking in North Woolwich?

Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in North Woolwich?

In North Woolwich, it’s Newham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. 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 if parts of the system can’t be reached?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.

Is there anything we have to do beforehand?

Clear away food and small items from the work areas so they’re out of the way. We will tell you anything else when we confirm the visit.

How far ahead should we book?

Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Why deal with it now?

Old grease hardens and bonds to surfaces. Regular deep cleans are easier than rescuing a neglected kitchen and surfaces stay in better condition. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How the visit works

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Expect the work in North Woolwich to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.

  1. A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
  2. We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
  3. We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
  4. We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
  5. Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Getting a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Advice

How we price kitchen deep cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we need to know

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
