Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Portfield
An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Greasy walls, dirty ceilings and grime behind equipment all count. A thorough deep clean brings every surface up to standard before or after an inspection. We’re often asked to deal with grease stains on walls near the cooking line and greasy, slippery kitchen floors, on floors and floor drains, fryers and grills and stainless steel surfaces.
In a place like Portfield, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Portfield?
Every service sends grease into the air. Some is caught by the extract, but some settles on walls, ceilings and equipment. Over weeks and months, it builds into a sticky layer.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
For a café close to Chichester station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What insurance they carry
How the job changes from site to site
Floors
A clean floor is safer for staff and makes the daily mop more effective.
Cooking equipment
Baked-on grease and carbon build up on cooking equipment. We remove them using methods that suit the equipment.
What kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
- Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What else we do in Portfield
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why act early in Portfield
Food debris and grease in hidden corners can draw pests in. Cleaning it out removes what they’re looking for and prevention is much easier than cure. A quieter site near Portfield still needs its system looked after.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Portfield
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. For a place like Portfield, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote

Kitchen deep cleaning in Portfield: local notes

Grease settles behind fryers, under ranges and on high surfaces in kitchens like these. Kitchens in Portfield get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 0.5 miles north-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
