About our kitchen deep cleaning in Shepway
Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface, along with the time and access a daily clean does not have. If you have food debris that could attract pests and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, we can help.
For a kitchen near Shepway, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Shepway
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 24 pubs and bars in and around Shepway, 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. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Shepway. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Greenfields Community Primary School or anywhere near Shepway, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like KIMS hospital about 2.2 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Hall kitchens near St Martin's Church or elsewhere in Shepway may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. In a smaller place like Shepway, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
An inspection can come at any time. A kitchen with grime behind equipment and on ceilings is harder to defend even when the daily clean is good. Keeping on top of it with deep cleans is far less stressful. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Not much. Clear food and loose items from surfaces and arrange access for the agreed time.
How much time does a deep clean need?
As a guide, it takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. A large or heavily soiled kitchen takes longer and we will say so when we quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean between inspections.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and drawing pests in.
Part by part
Behind and under equipment
Debris under the line is a draw for pests. It’s one of the main reasons kitchens book deep cleans.
Cooking equipment
Ranges, ovens, grills and fryers are cleaned inside and out, with each piece switched off and cool first.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
- Appliance breakdowns
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
