- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Swinford.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
- We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
- We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
- The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Kitchen deep cleaning in Swinford
A deep clean is the kitchen’s full treatment. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and leave the kitchen ready to cook. It’s a fresh start that’s easier to keep on top of. The work covers ranges and ovens, stainless steel surfaces and floors and floor drains, and people most often call us about baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills and a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Don’t let debris build up behind the line
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Do not let the extract cleaning slip
We finish with the floors and leave them dry and ready. Staff can get straight back to work at the start of the next shift.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and attracting pests.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Commercial kitchens in Swinford
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Swinford. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In Swinford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Eynsham Community Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Swinford (the nearest hospital is Radcliffe Infirmary, about 4.2 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Which areas does a deep clean cover?
A deep clean covers the areas daily cleaning misses, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. The cooking equipment is cleaned too.
When to call us in Swinford
Cooking releases grease with every service. Some is caught by the extract, but some settles on walls, ceilings and equipment. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- Floors with grease along the edges
Historic houses such as Appleton Manor (about 4.4 miles south) are part of the area around Swinford, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.
