About our kitchen deep cleaning in Surrey Quays

Every deep clean we carry out in Surrey Quays takes in the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely, because that is where the worst build-up hides. If you are dealing with grease stains on walls near the cooking line and a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit, we can put it right.

London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Surrey Quays, the work is normally done overnight, between the last service and the first.

We’ve been trading since 2009, as 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.

Part by part

Behind and under equipment

Food debris behind equipment can attract pests. It’s one of the main reasons kitchens book deep cleans.

Walls and ceilings

Grease and steam rise and settle on walls and ceilings. They’re cleaned first, working downwards, protecting the areas below.

How it works

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. In Surrey Quays, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.

  1. We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
  2. We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
  3. We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
  4. Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
  5. Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Ask for a quote

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Surrey Quays

The usual end-of-shift clean covers what’s in easy reach. Behind and under heavy equipment, high walls and ceilings rarely get the same attention so grease and debris accumulate there.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • Floors with grease along the edges
  • A kitchen that needs a clean start
  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings

If you serve passing trade near Surrey Quays station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a survey comes first
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Our hiring checklist

How we price kitchen deep cleaning

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The number of sites or systems
  • The scale of the work
  • Parking and loading at the site

The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What to send for a quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Kitchen deep cleaning around Surrey Quays

The FSA’s data shows about 96 pubs, bars and clubs and about 14 hotels and B&Bs registered in Surrey Quays and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day. Kitchens in Surrey Quays get their food hygiene inspections from Southwark council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Surrey Quays

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Surrey Quays?

The local authority for Surrey Quays is Southwark council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

Can school kitchens in Surrey Quays be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 86 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Surrey Quays. You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.

Can you give me a price for a deep clean?

No two kitchens are the same, so we need to see what’s involved first. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.

Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?

We clean behind and under as much equipment as can be safely reached. If something cannot be moved safely we clean around it as fully as we can.

Are you accredited?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

What a clean will not put right

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A blocked or overflowing grease trap
  • An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

What the work covers

  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Ranges and ovens
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Behind and under equipment
  • Fryers and grills
  • Floors and floor drains
