Part by part
Canopy exteriors
Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. The outside of the canopy is cleaned with the rest of the kitchen.
Floors
Greasy floors are a slip hazard. Floors are done at the end, including under and behind equipment where it can be moved safely.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Southcote
The work runs from top to bottom. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors, so nothing falls onto surfaces we’ve already cleaned. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. If you’re dealing with greasy, slippery kitchen floors and signs of pests drawn by food debris, we can put it right.
Work in a smaller place like Southcote is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it, and we clear up before we go. Around Southcote, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
It’s easy to set the next date while we are there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind all year round.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start instead of chasing grime later.
What kitchen deep cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- Equipment that is not working properly
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
