Kitchen deep cleaning across Thamesmead

Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thamesmead

Every deep clean we carry out in Thamesmead takes in the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely, because that is where the worst build-up hides. Typical jobs include a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean and signs of pests drawn by food debris, across behind and under equipment, ranges and ovens and walls and ceilings.

Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps a kitchen in Thamesmead from adding to the problem.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Thamesmead questions

Can you come to Thamesmead after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Thamesmead can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

Which environmental health team covers Thamesmead?

In Thamesmead, it’s Greenwich council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.

How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?

Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know what’s involved. You get a fixed quote, normally within one working day.

Can you clean the extract at the same time?

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.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Thamesmead

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.

What happens on the day

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. 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. In a London area like Thamesmead, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.

  1. We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
  2. We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
  3. Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
  4. We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
  5. The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Ask for a quote

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.

What the work involves, part by part

Cooking equipment

Clean equipment is easier to keep clean and looks better to an inspector.

Floors

A clean floor is safer for staff and makes daily cleaning easier.

Between visits

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Run the extract whenever the range is on
  • Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
  • Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
  • Do not let the extract cleaning slip

Once it’s deep cleaned, daily cleaning goes further. Keep on top of the daily routine, and the next deep clean is lighter work.

Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and protects the surfaces.

Thamesmead kitchens: local notes

There are about 46 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 31 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Thamesmead, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease settles behind fryers, under ranges and on high surfaces in kitchens like these. Food hygiene inspections in Thamesmead are the job of Greenwich council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Jubilee Primary School or anywhere near Thamesmead, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Hall and church kitchens, near St Paul or anywhere around Thamesmead, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Common problems we fix in Thamesmead

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.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
  • Food debris trapped under the range
  • A clean-up ahead of an inspection
  • Grime in corners that pests could exploit

If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Thamesmead (the nearest hospital is Erith and District Hospital, about 2.6 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
