About our kitchen deep cleaning in Rochester
Old, baked-on grease doesn’t come off with a wipe. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface, along with the time and access a daily clean doesn’t have. If you have build-up behind fryers and ovens and a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean, we can put it right, from fryers and grills, ranges and ovens and behind and under equipment onwards.
Grease traps fill up with fat and food scraps, and once it’s full, fat passes into the drains. Regular emptying and cleaning stops the smells and blockages that follow.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Rochester
Can you come to Rochester after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Rochester doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Rochester?
In Rochester, it’s Medway council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?
Where equipment can be moved safely, we clean behind and under it. Some equipment is fixed or connected in a way that means it shouldn’t be moved, and we will tell you where that applies.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
A typical kitchen takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen including the floors at the end. It’s planned around your opening times.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen deep cleaning won’t do:
- The inside of the extract system
- Appliance breakdowns
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Ranges and ovens
- Floors and floor drains
- Walls and ceilings
- Behind and under equipment
- Fryers and grills
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
Equipment is put back in place before we leave so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that once it’s back in service.
A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.

What else we do in Rochester
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In Rochester, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Kitchen deep cleaning around Rochester
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 food manufacturers and packers within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Rochester. Food production rooms build up residue on walls, ceilings and machinery that daily cleaning misses. Food hygiene inspections in Rochester are the job of Medway council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Rochester, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. School kitchens, at schools like Rochester Riverside Church of England Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rochester
In any kitchen in Rochester, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem and that’s why many kitchens plan the two together. Whatever the system, dirt and wear only get worse.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
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.
