Kitchen deep cleaning in Sulham
Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean. The extract is cleaned inside, and the kitchen around it is cleaned too and the whole kitchen benefits. It works on its own as well, between extract cleans. Common call-outs are for grime in corners that pests could exploit and baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills, on fryers and grills, ranges and ovens and walls and ceilings.
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.
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 are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Deal with spills straight away
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
The kitchen is handed back ready for the next service. We walk round with you or your manager to check everything is as agreed.
Grease that is left only gets harder to remove. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.
When to call us in Sulham
Steam and condensation carry grease to ceilings and high walls. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip onto the area below.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Food debris that could attract pests
- Food debris trapped under the range
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere in Sulham, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.
Comparing quotes
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Sulham kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in Sulham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. Food hygiene inspections in Sulham are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 2 miles north-east) are part of the area around Sulham, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Sulham (the nearest hospital is Battle Hospital, about 3.3 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Sulham, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Sulham questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Sulham?
That’s West Berkshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Sulham. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you get to a site in Sulham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?
A deep clean covers the areas daily cleaning misses, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. Equipment is cleaned inside and out.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
When can you do the deep clean?
It’s timed for when the kitchen isn’t cooking. Deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed, and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How long does a kitchen deep clean take?
As a guide, it takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. A large or heavily soiled kitchen takes longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy exteriors
Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. We clean the exterior as part of the deep clean.
School and care home kitchens
School holidays are a good time for a deep clean so the kitchen is ready when pupils return.
