About our kitchen deep cleaning in Oxford

Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen running but some areas never get touched. Behind and under equipment, and high up on walls and ceilings, grease quietly builds up. Our deep clean goes after every one of those areas in one planned visit. The work covers ranges and ovens, stainless steel surfaces and floors and floor drains, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen that needs a clean start and a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean.

In a place as big as Oxford, busy kitchens turn out a lot of food, and the daily clean can’t get everywhere: behind ranges and fryers, on ceilings, in floor drains and grease traps. A periodic deep clean deals with what the daily clean misses.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site

Canopy exteriors

Cleaning inside the extract system is a TR19 job. We can do both on the same visit.

School and care home kitchens

Kitchens in schools, care homes and hospitals need cleaning that fits around mealtimes. We plan around their hours.

Oxford questions

Do you work at weekends in Oxford?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Oxford?

Food hygiene inspections in Oxford are carried out by Oxford City council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.

What’s TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

What types of premises do you cover?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?

Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know what’s involved. You get a fixed quote, normally within one working day.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

What happens if it’s left?

Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. The longer it’s left, the more there is, alongside the grease in the extract. A deep clean takes it away. In a busy place like Oxford, a system that’s left only gets dirtier and harder to put right.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:

  • Wipe splashes before they harden
  • Do not wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
  • Clean behind movable equipment regularly
  • Never cook with the extract switched off

If we spot anything that needs attention, like damaged surfaces or a greasy canopy, we tell you. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.

Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.

What staff can safely do

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Oxford

There are about 366 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 47 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Oxford, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these build up grease behind and under equipment, on walls and on ceilings. Kitchens in Oxford get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

School kitchens, at schools like East Oxford Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Warneford Hospital about less than half a mile east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Hall kitchens near St Clement's Church or elsewhere in Oxford may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

The process

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Phased working suits larger sites in a place the size of Oxford, with each part handed back before the next starts.

  1. We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
  2. Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
  3. High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt does not fall on clean areas.
  4. The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
  5. The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.

How to prepare

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
