St Mary's Bay: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in St Mary's Bay?
Food hygiene inspections in St Mary's Bay are carried out by Folkestone and Hythe council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you cover smaller places like St Mary's Bay?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?
No two kitchens are the same, so we quote once we know what’s involved. Kitchen deep cleaning is quoted at a fixed price, normally within one working day.
Is there anything we have to do beforehand?
Not much. Clear food and loose items from surfaces, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
About our kitchen deep cleaning in St Mary's Bay
An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Build-up on walls, ceilings and behind equipment is part of what they see. A thorough deep clean brings every surface up to standard before or after an inspection. The work covers ranges and ovens, fryers and grills and behind and under equipment, and the jobs we see most are grime behind and under cooking equipment and grease built up on walls and ceilings.
Kitchens around a smaller place like St Mary's Bay are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in St Mary's Bay
Steam and condensation carry grease to ceilings and high walls. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip back down.
Look out for any of the following:
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
Hall and church kitchens, near All Saints or anywhere around St Mary's Bay, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t let debris build up behind the line
- Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Deal with spills straight away
If we spot anything that needs attention, like damaged surfaces or a greasy canopy, we tell you. It may need an extract clean or another trade.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.
What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

What else we do in St Mary's Bay
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
St Mary's Bay kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs, bars and clubs registered in St Mary's Bay and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Kitchens in St Mary's Bay get their food hygiene inspections from Folkestone and Hythe council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like The Marsh Academy for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What happens if it’s left?
The longer grease is left, the harder it is to remove. A kitchen deep cleaned regularly is quicker to clean each time, and surfaces last better. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. For a site near St Mary's Bay, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy exteriors
The inside of the canopy, the plenum and the ducts need a TR19 clean. We can do both on the same visit.
Walls and ceilings
The ceiling near the cooking line takes the brunt. We clean them along with the walls in a way that suits the finish.
