Polstead Heath questions
Which environmental health team covers Polstead Heath?
That’s Babergh council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Polstead Heath. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you work in Polstead Heath outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Polstead Heath keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?
No two kitchens are the same, so we quote once we know what’s involved. Kitchen deep cleaning is quoted at a fixed price, usually within one working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We go round the kitchen with you to check everything is as agreed.
A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
- The inside of the extract system
- Equipment that is not working properly
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Polstead Heath
- Ranges and ovens
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Walls and ceilings
- Floors and floor drains
- Behind and under equipment
- Fryers and grills
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health visits are not always announced in advance. Build-up in hidden areas is the kind of thing inspectors notice, however good the daily routine. Keeping on top of it with deep cleans is far less stressful. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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 any work starts.
