Kitchen deep cleaning in South Bermondsey

About our kitchen deep cleaning in South Bermondsey

Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up, along with the time and access a daily clean doesn’t have. If you have baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills and greasy, slippery kitchen floors, we can put it right.

Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
  • Do not let the extract cleaning slip
  • Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
  • Mop right into the edges and corners

We put equipment back where it belongs so your team can start up as normal. There’s nothing extra to do once it’s back in service.

Grease that’s left only gets harder to remove. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in South Bermondsey.

  1. First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
  2. We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
  3. We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
  4. Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
  5. We finish the floors and walk round with you.

How to prepare

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice

Multi-site and managed buildings

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

When it’s something else

Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:

  • Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
  • Pests already in the kitchen
  • Drainage problems beyond the kitchen

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

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

When to call us in South Bermondsey

Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. Daily wiping only deals with the surface and it thickens over time.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
  • A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
  • A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
  • A kitchen taken over in poor condition

For busy kitchens close to South Bermondsey station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

What to look for in a quote

  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • What records you will receive afterwards
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • Whether VAT is included

South Bermondsey: your questions answered

Does London parking affect a job in South Bermondsey?

A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in South Bermondsey makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.

Can school kitchens in South Bermondsey be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 90 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of South Bermondsey, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.

Do you do the kitchen and extract together?

Yes. We can plan both on the same visit or over consecutive visits, depending on the size of the job.

How far ahead should we book?

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.

Can you clean outside our opening hours?

The visit is planned around when you cook. We can come overnight, early or at the weekend, so disruption is kept to a minimum.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.

What about areas you can’t get to?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

South Bermondsey kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 37 food manufacturers and packers across South Bermondsey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Food production rooms build up residue on walls, ceilings and machinery that daily cleaning misses. Food hygiene inspections in South Bermondsey are the job of Southwark council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Most London kitchens cannot close in the day, so deep cleaning is usually done overnight.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like New Cross Hospital about 0.6 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Hall kitchens near Church of St Augustine or elsewhere in South Bermondsey may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

South Bermondsey is about 2 miles north-west of New Cross, in Greater London. Every kind of commercial site in South Bermondsey, we can take on kitchen deep cleaning.
