When to call us in Old Heath
Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. Daily wiping only deals with the surface and it thickens over time.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
School kitchens, at schools like Old Heath Community Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
About our kitchen deep cleaning in Old Heath
Our deep cleans in Old Heath cover kitchens of all kinds, whatever the size of the operation. We agree what’s included before the visit and quote a fixed price. The work covers walls and ceilings, fryers and grills and ranges and ovens, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen taken over in poor condition and a clean-up ahead of an inspection.
For a kitchen near Old Heath, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one, and we clear up before we go. For a place like Old Heath, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
- Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
- We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
- Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
- Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area

Kitchen deep cleaning in Old Heath: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Old Heath and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Environmental health officers from Colchester council inspect food businesses in Old Heath. 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.
Essex County Hospital, about 1.9 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Old Heath; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Hall kitchens near St Barnabas or elsewhere in Old Heath may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in Old Heath
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. 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:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean all year round.
A regular plan means build-up never gets out of hand. Pairing them with TR19 extract cleaning keeps the whole kitchen on track.

Questions from Old Heath
Who inspects food businesses in Old Heath?
In Old Heath, it’s Colchester 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.
Can you get to a site in Old Heath?
Yes, Old Heath is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
The kitchen’s size and equipment decide it, and a deep clean normally takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. We’ll confirm when we quote.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?
That is often where it’s dirtiest, so it’s a priority. We will agree what’s movable before any work starts.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?
After a look at the kitchen, from pictures or on site, we give you a fixed quote. Get in touch to arrange it and the quote is typically with you within one working day.
Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Clear food and small items from surfaces. Cooking equipment needs to be switched off and allowed to cool before work begins.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
