Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Bank
We clean from the ceiling down. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last so dirt doesn’t land on areas already done. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before we start. If you are dealing with hardened deposits on kitchen equipment and a kitchen that needs a clean start, we can put it right.
London’s sewers are known for fatbergs, built up from fat, oil and grease washed down drains. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in South Bank
In South Bank and everywhere else, a working kitchen takes a hammering. Spills, splashes, steam and heat all leave their mark over time.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Oasis Academy Johanna for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included

What else we do in South Bank
Kitchen deep cleaning around South Bank
Food Standards Agency records list about 28 food manufacturers and packers within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of South Bank. Production areas need periodic deep cleaning too, high-level surfaces and equipment included. Environmental health officers from Lambeth council inspect food businesses in South Bank. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children and Women about within half a mile north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Hall and church kitchens, near St John's Church or anywhere around South Bank, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around South Bank, the Food Standards Agency lists about 88 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.

How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Will the deep clean disrupt service?
The visit is planned around when you cook. We can come overnight, early or at the weekend, so disruption is kept to a minimum.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?
It takes in the places daily cleaning doesn’t reach, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. Equipment is cleaned inside and out.
Do you work in South Bank?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes South Bank.
What affects the quote in South Bank
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in South Bank
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Part by part
Canopy exteriors
A clean canopy shows straight away. Including it in the deep clean leaves nothing out.
Walls and ceilings
Surfaces close to the range build up grease quickly. We clean them thoroughly including the corners.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What kitchen deep cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen deep cleaning will not do:
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- Equipment that isn’t working properly
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Walls and ceilings
- Behind and under equipment
- Floors and floor drains
- Fryers and grills
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Ranges and ovens
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. In South Bank, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- 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.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
