How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Telscombe
Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen running but some areas never get touched. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. A deep clean deals with all of it while the kitchen is closed. Typical jobs include signs of pests drawn by food debris and grease stains on walls near the cooking line, on behind and under equipment, ranges and ovens and fryers and grills.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Telscombe are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we are called out for in Telscombe
Busy periods leave little time for anything beyond the essentials. Weeks of that, wherever the kitchen is in Telscombe, let grime build in the hard-to-reach places.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- Food debris that could attract pests
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Telscombe (the nearest hospital is Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
- Appliance breakdowns
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Ranges and ovens
- Behind and under equipment
- Floors and floor drains
- Fryers and grills
- Walls and ceilings
- Stainless steel surfaces
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Telscombe when you book.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system

Kitchen deep cleaning in Telscombe: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Telscombe, up to about a mile and a half out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Telscombe. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School or anywhere near Telscombe, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Historic houses such as Monk's House (about 2.7 miles north-east) are part of the area around Telscombe, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps.

Telscombe questions
Can a school kitchen in Telscombe be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Telscombe. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Telscombe be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Telscombe keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?
It takes in the places daily cleaning doesn’t reach, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. The cooking equipment is cleaned too.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to see what’s involved first. You get a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
It’s easy to set the next date while we are there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind all year round.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. A deep clean at this point stops it getting worse and drawing pests in.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
