The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report.

- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.

Old Wives Lees questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Old Wives Lees?
That’s Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Old Wives Lees. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you come to Old Wives Lees after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Old Wives Lees needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes. Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean, so the whole kitchen is done at once. You get a TR19 certificate and photo report for the extract.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Old Wives Lees kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Old Wives Lees, up to about a mile and a half out. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. Old Wives Lees, about 49 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Wives Lees. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Old Wives Lees, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you run a café or takeaway near Chilham station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (about 5.1 miles east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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 play a part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
