About our kitchen deep cleaning in St Margaret's at Cliffe

We clean from the ceiling down. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors so dirt does not land on areas already done. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. Common call-outs are for a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean and hardened deposits on kitchen equipment, across ranges and ovens, stainless steel surfaces and behind and under equipment.

Kitchens around a smaller place like St Margaret's at Cliffe are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.

We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What the work involves, part by part

Cooking equipment

Once the build-up is gone, daily cleaning is easier and inspectors notice the difference.

School and care home kitchens

Kitchens serving residents or patients need to keep cooking. We plan the work to fit.

Common problems we fix in St Margaret's at Cliffe

Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. It darkens surfaces and can drip back down.

Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • Grime in corners that pests could exploit
  • Cooking equipment caked in carbon
  • A clean-up ahead of an inspection

School kitchens, at schools like St Margaret's-at-Cliffe Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Our hiring checklist

What staff can safely do

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.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • How big the system is
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Asking for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

FAQs for St Margaret's at Cliffe

Do you cover smaller places like St Margaret's at Cliffe?

Yes. St Margaret's at Cliffe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in St Margaret's at Cliffe?

Food hygiene inspections in St Margaret's at Cliffe are carried out by Dover council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

What does commercial kitchen deep cleaning cost?

Size, equipment and the level of build-up all affect the price. We can quote from pictures or a site visit, and you will get a fixed quote.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

Will the deep clean disrupt service?

We book it for when you’re closed. Deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed, and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.

Which records should we keep?

Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Multi-site and managed buildings

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

How the visit works

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Your opening hours decide when we come to St Margaret's at Cliffe, not ours.

  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. We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
  5. The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.

How to prepare

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Move anything stored near the system
