Kitchen deep cleaning across Selmeston

What the work involves, part by part

Walls and ceilings

The ceiling near the cooking line takes the brunt. We clean them along with the walls in a way that suits the finish.

Cooking equipment

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

Kitchen deep cleaning in Selmeston

A deep clean is the kitchen’s full treatment. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and hand the kitchen back ready for service. From there, the daily routine is easier to keep up. The work covers fryers and grills, ranges and ovens and floors and floor drains, and common reasons people get in touch are food debris trapped under the range and a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean.

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.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why it’s worth doing now in Selmeston

Grime behind and under equipment can attract pests. A deep clean takes away the food source and prevention is much easier than cure. A fault that closes a site in a village like Selmeston affects everyone who depends on it.

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Selmeston questions

Do you work in villages like Selmeston?

Yes. Selmeston is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Do you work overnight in Selmeston?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Selmeston can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. 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 do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.

How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?

After a look at the kitchen, from photos or on site, we send you a fixed quote. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll arrange it, and it’s typically back within one working day.

Are you accredited?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

What’s TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Which sectors do you work in?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Keeping the system healthy

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
  • Wipe splashes before they harden
  • Plan the next deep clean in advance
  • Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed

Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean all year round.

Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start instead of chasing grime later.

Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Selmeston?

Busy periods leave little time for anything beyond the essentials. A few busy weeks in Selmeston or anywhere else are enough for grime to build behind and above the equipment.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
  • Floors with grease along the edges
  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
  • Signs of pests drawn by food debris

Historic houses such as Charleston Farmhouse (about 1.2 miles west) are part of the area around Selmeston, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

The process

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Selmeston before we set off.

  1. We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
  2. Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
  3. Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
  4. The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
  5. We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What your team can do, and what needs us

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix

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

  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
  • An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

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