How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Northwood
In Northwood, we fit deep cleans around the hours the kitchen cooks. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends so there’s no lost trade. School kitchens are often done in the holidays. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, behind and under equipment and ranges and ovens, and common reasons people get in touch are grime behind and under cooking equipment and a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Northwood questions
Can school kitchens in Northwood be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Northwood. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Northwood within the area you cover?
Yes, Northwood is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, and many kitchens do. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?
Behind and under the equipment is a key part of the job. If something cannot be moved safely we clean as far around and under it as possible.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Deal with spills straight away
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind between inspections.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. A deep clean at this point stops it getting worse and drawing pests in.
Why act early in Northwood
A greasy kitchen is a harder place to work. Greasy floors are a slip risk and sticky surfaces slow everyone down and less pleasant. Deep cleaning gives the team a better place to work. Planning a trip to Northwood ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Visits to a village like Northwood are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Northwood kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Northwood. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Northwood. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
For schools such as Northwood Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays. Historic houses such as Osborne House (about 2 miles east) are part of the area around Northwood, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
Northwood is about 1 mile south of Cowes, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Northwood, we can take on kitchen deep cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

Local landmarks in Northwood
Around Northwood, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Cowes Enterprise College and The Travellers Joy pub and the streets around them. A little further out are Isle of Wight Natural History Centre (0.5 miles north) and West Cowes Castle (1.7 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
What we are called out for in Northwood
Cooking releases grease with every service. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; St Mary's Hospital, about 2.4 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Northwood.
