Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Reading
Old, baked-on grease doesn’t come off with a wipe. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up, along with the time and access a daily clean doesn’t have. The work covers walls and ceilings, floors and floor drains and ranges and ovens, and people most often call us about a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean and a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean.
Larger kitchens in a place like Reading, such as hotel, workplace and production kitchens, can rarely close for long, so deep cleans are done overnight or in phases, and grease traps are emptied on a schedule that suits the volume.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We go round the kitchen with you to check everything is as agreed.
Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
Why act early in Reading
In Reading, deep cleans can be fitted around the kitchen’s quieter times. Leaving it until something goes wrong means doing it in a hurry at the worst possible time. Several systems on one site in Reading are simpler to look after when the dates are set in advance.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Reading: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Reading?
That’s Reading council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Reading. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work at weekends in Reading?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Reading does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover Reading?
Yes. We cover Reading and across Wokingham, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
The kitchen’s size and equipment decide it, though a deep clean typically takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. You’ll know before we start.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes. Both can be done on the same visit or close together, depending on the size of the job.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- The inside of the extract system
- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Ranges and ovens
- Floors and floor drains
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Walls and ceilings
- Fryers and grills
- Behind and under equipment
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
