About our kitchen deep cleaning in Stevenage
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. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before work begins. The work covers floors and floor drains, ranges and ovens and fryers and grills, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit and grime in corners that pests could exploit.
In a place as big as Stevenage, busy kitchens turn out a lot of food, and the daily clean can’t get everywhere: behind equipment, under units, on high surfaces and in the drains. A periodic deep clean deals with what the daily clean misses.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service
- The inside of the extract system
- Equipment that is not working properly
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Floors and floor drains
- Ranges and ovens
- Fryers and grills
- Behind and under equipment
- Walls and ceilings
What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Stevenage
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 105 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 71 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stevenage. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. Food hygiene inspections in Stevenage are the job of Stevenage council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Stevenage (the nearest hospital is Lister Hospital, about 1.7 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. We’ll ask where we can park in Stevenage and how to get equipment to the system, as those shape the visit.
- We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
- We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
- Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
- Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
- Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Stevenage
Who inspects food businesses in Stevenage?
Kitchens in Stevenage are inspected by Stevenage council’s environmental health officers. 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.
Can you work in school kitchens in Stevenage during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 39 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Stevenage. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?
A clean kitchen is part of what an EHO looks at. Deep cleaning takes care of grime in the places that are easy to miss, though it’s the daily routine that keeps it there.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
The kitchen’s size and equipment decide it, and a deep clean normally takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. You will know before work begins.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes, and it often makes sense. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.

What staff can safely do
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, alongside our reports.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Food debris and grease in hidden corners can draw pests in. A deep clean takes away the food source and prevention is much easier than cure. In a busy place like Stevenage, a system that’s left only gets dirtier and harder to put right.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Wipe splashes before they harden
Floors are clean and dry by the time we’ve finished. Your team can come in and set up as normal when the kitchen opens.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and protects the surfaces.
Common problems we fix in Stevenage
Busy periods leave little time for anything beyond the essentials. A few busy weeks in Stevenage or anywhere else are enough for grime to build in the hard-to-reach places.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Food debris trapped under the range
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
Hall and church kitchens, near St Hugh & St John or anywhere around Stevenage, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
