How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Somerley
Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean. The extract is cleaned inside, and the kitchen around it is cleaned too, so the whole space is done in one go. It can also be booked on its own, between extract cleans. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, on fryers and grills, behind and under equipment and ranges and ovens.
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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Somerley
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Somerley?
Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip onto the area below.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
School kitchens, at schools like Birdham CE Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Somerley can be planned properly.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Walls and ceilings
Surfaces close to the range build up grease quickly. They get a thorough degrease, including the joints and edges.
Cooking equipment
Once the build-up is gone, daily cleaning is easier and inspectors notice the difference.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Somerley
Can you work in school kitchens in Somerley during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Somerley. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you work in Somerley outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Somerley can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes. We can plan both on the same visit or over consecutive visits to suit the kitchen.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?
It covers the full kitchen, from ceiling to floor. The exact list is agreed when we quote, so there are no surprises.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Commercial kitchens in Somerley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Somerley, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Somerley get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 5.2 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St James' Church or elsewhere in Somerley, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Floors and floor drains
- Behind and under equipment
- Walls and ceilings
- Fryers and grills

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
Equipment is put back in place before we leave so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that from then on.
If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and attracting pests.
