How we price kitchen deep cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard 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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Nunhead
Old, baked-on grease does not come off with a wipe. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface and the time to do it properly. The work covers behind and under equipment, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains, and the jobs we see most are a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned and cooking equipment caked in carbon.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Nunhead, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
- Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
- Never cook with the extract switched off
The kitchen is handed back ready for the next service. We walk round with you or your manager to check everything is as agreed.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and helps the equipment last.

Advice
Nunhead: your questions answered
Do you clean school kitchens in Nunhead in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 69 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Nunhead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Nunhead?
That’s Lewisham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Nunhead. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?
Behind and under the equipment is where the worst build-up is, so we reach it wherever it’s safe to do so. We check what can be moved safely at the start.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, and many kitchens do. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What the work involves, part by part

Kitchen deep cleaning in Nunhead: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 71 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses in Nunhead and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Nunhead, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lewisham council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.
