Kitchen deep cleaning in Ratling, done properly
Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up and the time to do it properly. If you are dealing with a clean-up ahead of an inspection and cooking equipment caked in carbon, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Ratling, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Somewhere as small as Ratling, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
- Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens in schools, care homes and hospitals need cleaning that fits around mealtimes. We work outside meal service.
Walls and ceilings
Walls and ceilings collect grease carried up by heat and steam. They’re cleaned first, working downwards so nothing drips onto clean areas.
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. A planned visit to Ratling is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
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.

Ratling questions
Which environmental health team covers Ratling?
That is Dover council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ratling. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can the work in Ratling be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Ratling needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Ratling kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways in and around Ratling, up to about a mile and a half out. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. Kitchens in Ratling get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. We cover Ratling, about 59 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Martins Hospital (about 5.2 miles north-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter or elsewhere in Ratling, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

When to call us in Ratling
Kitchens in Ratling, as anywhere, take a lot of punishment. Heat, steam, spills and splashes all add up on every surface.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
For a café close to Adisham station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What kitchen deep cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Pests already in the kitchen
- Appliance breakdowns
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
