How the job changes from site to site
School and care home kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens can’t close for long. Visits are timed between meals or overnight.
Walls and ceilings
Wall cladding and tiles around the cooking line get greasy fast. They get a thorough degrease, including the joints and edges.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Sissinghurst, done properly
We clean from the ceiling down. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors, so nothing falls onto surfaces we have already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before work begins. Common call-outs are for a kitchen taken over in poor condition and a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean, on behind and under equipment, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

Commercial kitchens in Sissinghurst
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sissinghurst. Kitchens like these build up grease behind and under equipment, on walls and on ceilings. In Sissinghurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Benenden Hospital (about 3.1 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cranbrook School or anywhere near Sissinghurst, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Where a church or community hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Sissinghurst, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What happens if it’s left?
Grime behind and under equipment can attract pests. Cleaning it out removes what they’re looking for and prevention is much easier than cure. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

FAQs for Sissinghurst
Do you work overnight in Sissinghurst?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Sissinghurst keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Sissinghurst?
Yes, Sissinghurst is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What should we do before the deep clean?
Very little. Move food and loose items away from the areas being cleaned, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes. We can plan both on the same visit or over consecutive visits to suit the kitchen.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Fryers and grills
- Ranges and ovens
- Behind and under equipment
- Floors and floor drains

- Stainless steel surfaces
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. The timing of a visit to Sissinghurst is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
If we spot anything that needs attention, like damaged surfaces or a greasy canopy, we tell you. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and helps the equipment last.
