Kitchen deep cleaning in Pimlico, done properly
Our deep cleans in Pimlico cover kitchens of all kinds, whatever the size of the operation. We agree what’s included before the visit, and you get a fixed quote. If you have cooking equipment caked in carbon and a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean, we can help.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In Pimlico, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually done overnight.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Pimlico.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
- Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
- We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
- The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Wipe splashes before they harden
It’s easy to set the next date while we’re there. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean all year round.
A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What else we do in Pimlico
What we’re called out for in Pimlico
In Pimlico and everywhere else, a working kitchen takes a hammering. Heat, steam, spills and splashes all add up over time.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- Food debris trapped under the range
The Gordon Hospital, about less than half a mile north-east, is the nearest hospital to Pimlico; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Pimlico
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 156 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 103 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pimlico. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. Food hygiene inspections in Pimlico are the job of Westminster council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a kitchen near London Victoria station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap. Hall kitchens near St Gabriel's or elsewhere in Pimlico may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
Pimlico is about 1 mile east of Brompton, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the SW1P postcode area, we can take on kitchen deep cleaning. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, Pimlico among them.

What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health visits aren’t always announced in advance. A kitchen with grime behind equipment and on ceilings is harder to defend, however good the daily routine. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Common questions in Pimlico
Do you work overnight in Pimlico?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Pimlico keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can a school kitchen in Pimlico be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 73 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Pimlico. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, and many kitchens do. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.
Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?
Where equipment can be moved safely, we clean behind and under it. Some equipment is fixed or connected in a way that means it shouldn’t be moved, and we’ll tell you where that applies.
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 long does a kitchen deep clean take?
A typical kitchen takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen including the floors at the end. We plan it to finish before your next service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Just put away food and small items, and let us in. Cooking equipment needs to be switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts.
What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Different parts, different methods
Cooking equipment
We clean the cooking equipment itself, inside and out, with each piece switched off and cool first.
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens that serve fixed mealtimes need careful planning. We plan around their hours.
