Kitchen deep cleaning in Swalecliffe
An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Greasy walls, dirty ceilings and grime behind equipment all count. A deep clean puts the whole kitchen in good order before or after an inspection. If you have a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills, we can help, from ranges and ovens, behind and under equipment and walls and ceilings onwards.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Swalecliffe 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. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Swalecliffe
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. For a place like Swalecliffe, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt does not fall on clean areas.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Do you work in school kitchens around Swalecliffe out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Swalecliffe, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Swalecliffe?
Kitchens in Swalecliffe are inspected by Canterbury City council’s environmental health officers. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What should we do before the deep clean?
Just put away food and small items, and let us in. We will need the cooking equipment switched off and cool before work begins.
Can you set up regular visits?

Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
Equipment is put back in place before we leave, ready for your staff to check and start up. Nothing special is needed after that from then on.
A regular plan means build-up never gets out of hand. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.
Why it’s worth doing now in Swalecliffe
For kitchens in Swalecliffe, a deep clean can be planned around quiet periods. Leaving it until something goes wrong tends to mean a rushed, disruptive clean, often at a bad moment. In a smaller place like Swalecliffe, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What we are called out for in Swalecliffe
Food debris falls behind and under equipment. Combined with grease, it becomes the kind of mess pests like if it isn’t cleared.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, about 0.7 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Swalecliffe.

- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
