Kitchen deep cleaning in Puttock's End

Commercial kitchens in Puttock's End

Food Standards Agency records list about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Puttock's End, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens like these build up grease behind and under equipment, on walls and on ceilings. Environmental health officers from Uttlesford council inspect food businesses in Puttock's End. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. We cover Puttock's End, about 29 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Historic houses such as Barrington Hall (about 1.9 miles south-west) are part of the area around Puttock's End, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Herts and Essex Hospital about 4.5 miles west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Puttock's End

The work runs from top to bottom. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last, so nothing falls onto surfaces we have already cleaned. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. Common call-outs are for a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and grease stains on walls near the cooking line, across stainless steel surfaces, ranges and ovens and fryers and grills.

Somewhere as small as Puttock's End, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in Puttock's End

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • How big the system is
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. 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:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

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 get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Puttock's End: your questions answered

Can you come to Puttock's End after we close?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Puttock's End needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Puttock's End?

In Puttock's End, it’s Uttlesford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

What does TR19 mean?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

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.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Puttock's End before we set off.

  1. We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
  2. Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
  3. We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
  4. Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
  5. Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Get a fixed quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Related advice

For landlords and multi-site operators

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Common problems we fix in Puttock's End

Crumbs and scraps end up behind the cooking line. Combined with grease, it becomes the kind of mess pests like unless it’s cleaned out.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
  • A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
  • A clean-up ahead of an inspection
  • Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment

Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Takeley Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
