Kitchen deep cleaning in Temple Fortune

Common problems we fix in Temple Fortune

Steam and condensation carry grease to ceilings and high walls. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip back down.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • A kitchen taken over in poor condition
  • Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
  • Grease stains on walls near the cooking line

Where a church or community hall near Saint Mary and Archangel Michael Church, or anywhere in Temple Fortune, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

About our kitchen deep cleaning in Temple Fortune

A deep clean pairs well with a TR19® clean of the extract. The extract is cleaned inside, and the kitchen around it is cleaned too and the whole kitchen benefits. It works on its own as well, between extract cleans. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, floors and floor drains and behind and under equipment, and the jobs we see most are food debris that could attract pests and a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen.

Every food business in London is inspected by its local council’s environmental health officers, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. A deep clean ahead of an inspection, or after one, is a common reason kitchens in Temple Fortune get in touch.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the job changes from site to site

School and care home kitchens

School holidays are a good time for a deep clean so the kitchen is ready when pupils return.

Canopy exteriors

The canopy is one of the first things people see. Cleaning it with the rest of the kitchen leaves nothing out.

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Temple Fortune.

  1. A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
  2. Areas are protected and equipment is made 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Find the previous report, if there is one

Getting a quote

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding

  • A blocked or overflowing grease trap

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on in Temple Fortune

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

What your team can do, and what needs us

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Leave it or put it right?

In any kitchen in Temple Fortune, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem, so many kitchens book both. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Temple Fortune

Can you work in school kitchens in Temple Fortune during the holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 50 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Temple Fortune. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

Can the work in Temple Fortune be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Temple Fortune doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

How do you protect the area?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.

What happens to the waste?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

Do you do the kitchen and extract together?

We can. A TR19® extract clean and a deep clean fit well together and the whole space is cleaned in one go. You get a TR19 certificate and photo report for the extract.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.

What should we do before the deep clean?

Very little. Move food and loose items away from the areas being cleaned, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.
