Kitchen deep cleaning in Temple Bar: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 528 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 201 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Temple Bar. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Most London kitchens cannot close in the day, so deep cleaning is normally done overnight. Environmental health officers from the City of London Corporation inspect food businesses in Temple Bar. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
For a café close to City Thameslink station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Philip's Hospital about under half a mile west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Temple Bar
Across Temple Bar, we deep clean restaurant and pub kitchens, hotel kitchens, school kitchens and more, whatever the size of the operation. We agree what’s included before the visit, and you get a fixed quote. The work covers behind and under equipment, walls and ceilings and ranges and ovens, and common reasons people get in touch are signs of pests drawn by food debris and a kitchen that needs a clean start.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen deep cleaning will not do:
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
- Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Floors and floor drains
- Ranges and ovens
- Walls and ceilings
- Fryers and grills
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Behind and under equipment
Why it’s worth doing now in Temple Bar
Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. Leaving it adds to the fire risk in the kitchen on top of what’s in the ductwork. Deep cleaning removes it. A booked night’s work in Temple Bar costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
What affects the quote in Temple Bar
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Common problems we fix in Temple Bar
Busy periods leave little time for anything beyond the essentials. Weeks of that, wherever the kitchen is in Temple Bar, let grime build in the hard-to-reach places.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
Where a church or community hall near Temple Church, or anywhere in Temple Bar, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Temple Bar: your questions answered
Can you work in Temple Bar outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Temple Bar needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can a school kitchen in Temple Bar be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 86 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Temple Bar. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Which areas does a deep clean cover?
Walls, floors, ceilings and cooking equipment, including behind and under equipment where it can be moved safely. The scope is agreed before the visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What should we do before the deep clean?
Put food, utensils and small items away before we start. Anything else we need, we will mention in advance.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Temple Bar.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
- Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
- We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
- Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
