Kitchen deep cleaning for sites in Selhurst

What kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A blocked or overflowing grease trap
  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding

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

Where we work

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

Kitchen deep cleaning in Selhurst

In Selhurst, we fit deep cleans around the hours the kitchen cooks. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend so there’s no lost trade. School kitchens are often done in the holidays. The work covers floors and floor drains, stainless steel surfaces and ranges and ovens, and common reasons people get in touch are a clean-up ahead of an inspection and hardened deposits on kitchen equipment.

Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Selhurst

Who inspects food businesses in Selhurst?

The local authority for Selhurst is Croydon council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.

Can you come to Selhurst after we close?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Selhurst does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Can you clean behind fixed equipment?

Where equipment can be moved safely, we clean behind and under it. Not everything can be moved safely, and we will tell you where that applies.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

What should we do before the deep clean?

Clear away food and small items from the work areas so they’re out of the way. We will tell you anything else when we confirm the visit.

How long does a kitchen deep clean take?

A typical kitchen takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen including the floors at the end. It’s planned around your opening times.

Keeping the system healthy

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Plan the next deep clean in advance
  • Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
  • Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
  • Wipe splashes before they harden

We put equipment back where it belongs so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that from then on.

Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and protects the surfaces.

What we do, step by step

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. In a London area like Selhurst, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.

  1. We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
  2. Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
  3. High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt does not fall on clean areas.
  4. The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
  5. The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.

Before we arrive

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Getting a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

How the job changes from site to site

Floors

The worst floor grime hides along edges and under the line. We pay particular attention there.

Cooking equipment

We clean the cooking equipment itself, inside and out, with each piece switched off and cool first.

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 on top of what’s in the ductwork. A deep clean takes it away. In Selhurst, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.

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 any work starts.

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 can diagnose it and quote.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

What affects the quote in Selhurst

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • How big the system is
  • Parking and loading at the site

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Selhurst kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency data counts about 238 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 182 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Selhurst, 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 Selhurst get their food hygiene inspections from Croydon council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day.

A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Croydon University Hospital about 1.7 miles south-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. For a café close to Norwood Junction station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.
