Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Sandgate
Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean. The extract is cleaned inside, and the kitchen around it is cleaned too, so the whole space is done in one go. It can also be booked on its own, between extract cleans. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen that needs a clean start and grease built up on walls and ceilings, across ranges and ovens, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains.
For a kitchen in or near Sandgate, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen deep cleaning will not do:
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Sandgate
Do you clean school kitchens in Sandgate in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 9 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Sandgate. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Sandgate?
In Sandgate, it’s Folkestone and Hythe 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.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you clean outside our opening hours?
Most deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed, so the kitchen is ready for the next service. For schools, the holidays are a good time.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?
A deep clean covers the areas daily cleaning misses, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. The cooking equipment is cleaned too.
How long does a kitchen deep clean take?
As a guide, it takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. Bigger kitchens or heavy build-up need more time, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Sandgate
The Food Standards Agency lists about 21 pubs and bars and about 12 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Sandgate, up to about a mile and a half out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Food hygiene inspections in Sandgate are the job of Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you serve passing trade near Folkestone West station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. Royal Victoria Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Sandgate; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Cleaning inside the extract system is a TR19 job. Many kitchens book both together.
Floors
Removing grease from the floor cuts slip risks and makes daily cleaning easier.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sandgate
Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. The longer it’s left, the more there is on top of what’s in the ductwork. A deep clean takes it away. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Sandgate, let us know and we will plan around it.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
- We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
- Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
- The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
