Kitchen deep cleaning for sites in Temple

FAQs for Temple

Who inspects food businesses in Temple?

That’s the City of London Corporation, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Temple. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

Do you work overnight in Temple?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Temple does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?

Behind and under the equipment is a key part of the job. If something can’t be moved safely we clean around it as fully as we can.

Which sectors do you work in?

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 do you do to protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

How much notice should we give?

Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Can you clean the extract at the same time?

Yes. We can plan both on the same visit or over consecutive visits to suit the kitchen.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Temple

Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean. The extract is cleaned inside, and the kitchen around it is cleaned too, so the whole space is done in one go. It can also be booked on its own, between extract cleans. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, walls and ceilings and fryers and grills, and people most often call us about a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen and signs of pests drawn by food debris.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. In Temple, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When it’s something else

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
  • Pests already in the kitchen

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on in Temple

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

Why act early in Temple

An inspection can come at any time. A kitchen with grime behind equipment and on ceilings is harder to defend, however good the daily routine. Keeping on top of it with deep cleans is far less stressful. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.

What affects the quote in Temple

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • What state the system is in
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Site rules, permits and inductions

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Helping us quote

We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:

  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Kitchen deep cleaning around Temple

Food Standards Agency data counts about 24 food manufacturers and packers within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Temple. Factories and packing rooms need deep cleaning planned around production runs. Most London kitchens can’t 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. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

Hall and church kitchens, near Temple Church or anywhere around Temple, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Temple (the nearest hospital is St Philip's Hospital, about under half a mile north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Temple is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in Greater London. Sites in Temple get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and Temple is one of them.

Common problems we fix in Temple

Every service sends grease into the air. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
  • A kitchen that needs a clean start
  • Build-up behind fryers and ovens
  • Food debris that could attract pests

A summer deep clean suits schools such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Questions to ask before booking

What the work involves, part by part

Canopy exteriors

The canopy is one of the first things people see. Including it in the deep clean finishes the job properly.

Walls and ceilings

Walls and ceilings collect grease carried up by heat and steam. They’re cleaned first, working downwards so nothing drips onto clean areas.

What staff can safely do

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.

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, which is where we come in.

What we do, step by step

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Before any visit in Temple, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.

  1. First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
  2. We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
  3. High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
  4. Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
  5. We finish the floors and walk round with you.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
