- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
- Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Do not let the extract cleaning slip
Equipment is put back in place before we leave, ready for your staff to check and start up. There’s nothing extra to do once it’s back in service.
A regular plan means build-up never gets out of hand. Pairing them with TR19 extract cleaning keeps the whole kitchen on track.
Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shotgate
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 doesn’t have. Common call-outs are for a clean-up ahead of an inspection and greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings, across stainless steel surfaces, walls and ceilings and fryers and grills.
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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

Shotgate: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Shotgate?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Shotgate needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will you come out to Shotgate?
Yes, Shotgate is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Shotgate?
Cooking releases grease with every service. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. Over weeks and months, it builds into a sticky layer.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
School kitchens, at schools like Beauchamps High School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What the work involves, part by part
Floors
A clean floor is safer for staff and makes daily cleaning easier.
School and care home kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens can’t close for long. Visits are timed between meals or overnight.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Shotgate get their food hygiene inspections from Basildon council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

Why act early in Shotgate
Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. The longer it’s left, the more there is, alongside the grease in the extract. Deep cleaning removes it. In a place like Shotgate, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Every job surveyed first
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Shotgate.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
