Part by part
Walls and ceilings
Ceilings above the cooking line often darken with grease. They’re cleaned as part of the deep clean in a way that suits the finish.
Cooking equipment
We clean the cooking equipment itself, inside and out once it’s switched off and cooled.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Speed Gate
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it, because that is where the worst build-up hides. Common call-outs are for greasy, slippery kitchen floors and a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit, across fryers and grills, floors and floor drains and walls and ceilings.
For a kitchen in or near Speed Gate, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
A deep-cleaned kitchen is easier to keep clean. Keep up the routine, especially behind and under equipment where you can, and the next deep clean is lighter work.
Old grease hardens with every service. Booking one sooner keeps the work manageable, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Speed Gate. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.

How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you work in Speed Gate?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Speed Gate included.
What should we do before the deep clean?
Very little. Clear food and loose items from surfaces, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.
What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?
It takes in the places daily cleaning doesn’t reach, from high walls and ceilings to the floor under the range. Equipment is cleaned inside and out.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Why act early in Speed Gate
Staff notice when a kitchen is grimy. Slippery floors and sticky surfaces make the job harder and less pleasant. Deep cleaning gives the team a better place to work. In a small place like Speed Gate, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Speed Gate
Crumbs and scraps end up behind the cooking line. Mixed with grease, it forms a layer that can attract pests if it isn’t cleared.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Longfield Academy for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
