Grease and steam rise and settle on walls and ceilings. We clean them from the top down so nothing drips onto clean areas.

About our kitchen deep cleaning in Sittingbourne

Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen running but some areas never get touched. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. A deep clean deals with all of it while the kitchen is closed. Common call-outs are for signs of pests drawn by food debris and a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean, on walls and ceilings, floors and floor drains and stainless steel surfaces.

Grease traps fill up with fat and food scraps, and once it’s full, fat passes into the drains. Regular emptying and cleaning stops the smells and blockages that follow.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Kitchen deep cleaning around Sittingbourne

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 26 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sittingbourne. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sittingbourne. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

If you serve passing trade near Sittingbourne station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Borden Grammar School or anywhere near Sittingbourne, 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 Sittingbourne, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Sittingbourne questions

Which council inspects kitchens in Sittingbourne?

Kitchens in Sittingbourne are inspected by Swale council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.

Can school kitchens in Sittingbourne be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 24 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Sittingbourne, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Is there anything we have to do beforehand?

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

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.

Do you provide a certificate or report?

Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?

It depends on the size of the kitchen, the equipment and how much build-up there is. We can quote from pictures or a site visit and give you a fixed price.

Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?

Yes, cleanliness of the premises is part of an inspection. No clean can promise a rating but a deep clean gives you a clean starting point.

When it’s something else

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Appliance breakdowns
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
  • A blocked or overflowing grease trap

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work

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

What happens if it’s left?

The longer grease is left, the harder it is to remove. Regular deep cleans are easier than rescuing a neglected kitchen, and surfaces last better. Booking now keeps it a routine visit to Sittingbourne rather than an urgent one.

You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

Aftercare tips

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Never cook with the extract switched off
  • Wipe splashes before they harden
  • Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
  • Book deep cleans on a regular cycle

Anything we notice during the clean, such as worn flooring or a dirty extract, is pointed out. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.

Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.

What happens on the day

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. The more we can see of the system beforehand, the smoother the visit to Sittingbourne will be.

  1. We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
  2. Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
  3. We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
  4. We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
  5. The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sittingbourne

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
