How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Because the survey comes first, a visit to South Ockendon can usually be finished without a second trip.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt does not fall on clean areas.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
- Deal with spills right away
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean all year round.
Grease that’s left only gets harder to remove. Booking one sooner keeps the work manageable and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.
What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in South Ockendon
There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around South Ockendon, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. In South Ockendon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Thurrock council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run a café or takeaway near Ockendon station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning. School kitchens, at schools like Bonnygate Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Hall kitchens near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in South Ockendon may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

How the job changes from site to site
Behind and under equipment
Daily cleaning rarely reaches here, which is why build-up gets so bad.
Cooking equipment
Clean equipment is easier to keep clean and looks better to an inspector.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are 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 can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix
Kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning can’t restore
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Behind and under equipment
- Floors and floor drains
- Fryers and grills
- Walls and ceilings
- Ranges and ovens
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
