Kitchen deep cleaning across Ruckinge

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
  • Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
  • Pests already in the kitchen

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

  • Ranges and ovens
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Behind and under equipment
  • Fryers and grills

How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Ruckinge

The work runs from top to bottom. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors so dirt does not land on areas already done. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. If you are dealing with a clean-up ahead of an inspection and food debris trapped under the range, we can put it right.

In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Between visits

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Mop right into the edges and corners
  • Never cook with the extract switched off
  • Plan the next deep clean in advance
  • Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed

Floors are clean and dry by the time we have finished. Staff can get straight back to work when the kitchen opens.

If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. A deep clean at this point stops it getting worse and attracting pests.

The process

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ruckinge run smoothly.

  1. We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
  2. We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
  3. High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
  4. We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
  5. The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.

How to prepare

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

How to get a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Advice

Part by part

Walls and ceilings

Wall cladding and tiles around the cooking line get greasy fast. They get a thorough degrease, including the joints and edges.

School and care home kitchens

Kitchens that serve fixed mealtimes need careful planning. We work outside meal service.

Common problems we fix in Ruckinge

Every service sends grease into the air. Some is caught by the extract but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. Over weeks and months, it builds into a sticky layer.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
  • A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
  • Floors with grease along the edges
  • Preparation for an EHO inspection

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as William Harvey Hospital (about 5.3 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
