How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Spellbrook
Think of a deep clean as a full check-up for the kitchen. The hidden corners get as much attention as the obvious ones and leave the kitchen ready to cook. It’s a fresh start that’s easier to keep on top of. We’re often asked to deal with food debris trapped under the range and preparation for an EHO inspection, on behind and under equipment, fryers and grills and stainless steel surfaces.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Deal with spills straight away
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
We put equipment back where it belongs so your team can start up as normal. There’s nothing extra to do from then on.
Grease that is left only gets harder to remove. Booking one sooner keeps the work manageable, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. The timing of a visit to Spellbrook is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

What we’re called out for in Spellbrook
Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. Daily wiping only deals with the surface and it thickens over time.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Floors with grease along the edges
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
Where a church or community hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Spellbrook, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Spellbrook questions
Can school kitchens in Spellbrook be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Spellbrook, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Spellbrook after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?
A clean kitchen is part of what an EHO looks at. A deep clean is a good way to get on top of build-up and good daily cleaning keeps it that way.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes, and many kitchens do. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
