How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Old Ford
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it as that is where grease and food debris gather. If you have a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned and signs of pests drawn by food debris, we can put it right, from walls and ceilings, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains onwards.
Every food business in London is inspected by its local council’s environmental health officers, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen is part of what they look at. Kitchens in Old Ford often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
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 affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
When to call us in Old Ford
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Floors with grease along the edges
- Food debris trapped under the range
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mulberry UTC or anywhere near Old Ford, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What paperwork you get at the end
Leave it or put it right?
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. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
Old Ford: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Old Ford?
The local authority for Old Ford is Newham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you work at weekends in Old Ford?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Old Ford can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
The kitchen’s size and equipment decide it, and a deep clean normally takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. You will know before work begins.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes. Both can be done on the same visit or close together to suit the kitchen.
Which areas does a deep clean cover?
It takes in the places daily cleaning doesn’t reach, from high walls and ceilings to the floor under the range. Equipment is cleaned inside and out.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Different parts, different methods
Walls and ceilings
Grease and steam rise and settle on walls and ceilings. They’re cleaned first, working downwards so nothing drips onto clean areas.
School and care home kitchens
School kitchens can be deep cleaned during the holidays, ready for the new term.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Old Ford is normally out of hours.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Kitchen deep cleaning around Old Ford
The FSA’s data shows about 70 pubs and bars and about 13 hotels and B&Bs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Old Ford. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. It’s Newham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Ford. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. 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.
If you serve passing trade near Hackney Wick station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. If you look after a hall kitchen near St Paul Old Ford or anywhere in Old Ford, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Deal with spills right away
- Don’t let debris build up behind the line
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Mop right into the edges and corners
Floors are clean and dry by the time we have finished. Your team can come in and set up as normal when the kitchen opens.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. A deep clean at this point stops it getting worse and attracting pests.
