Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in The Common
Think of a deep clean as a full check-up for the kitchen. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and hand the kitchen back ready for service. It’s a fresh start that’s easier to keep on top of. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains, and the jobs we see most are a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and food debris trapped under the range.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
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’re fully insured.

Part by part
Canopy exteriors
The canopy is one of the first things people see. Including it in the deep clean leaves nothing out.
Cooking equipment
Baked-on grease and carbon build up on cooking equipment. We remove them using methods that suit the equipment.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Never cook with the extract switched off
A deep-cleaned kitchen is easier to keep clean. Keep on top of the daily routine, and the next deep clean is lighter work.
Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Pairing them with TR19 extract cleaning keeps the whole kitchen on track.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near The Common, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Commercial kitchens in The Common
The Common, about 41 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In The Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Uttlesford council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in The Common may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near The Common (the nearest hospital is Saffron Walden Community Hospital, about 3.5 miles west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. School kitchens, at schools like Radwinter Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
The Common is about 4 miles east of Saffron Walden, in Essex. Sites in The Common get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our area takes in 644 places across Essex, from busy centres to quieter spots. For sites nearby, see our Chelmsford page, about 21 miles away.
Work in CB10 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If your site is just outside The Common, we cover Radwinter (1 mile south), Maple End (1 mile south-west), Wimbish (2 miles south-west), Hempstead (2 miles east) and Church End (3 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Braintree (13 miles south-east), Saffron Walden (4 miles west), Halstead (14 miles south-east), Great Dunmow (10 miles south), Stansted Mountfitchet (10 miles south-west) and Great Notley (14 miles south-east).

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
Food debris and grease in hidden corners can draw pests in. A deep clean takes away the food source and prevention is much easier than cure. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What affects the quote in The Common
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen deep cleaning will not do:
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
- Pests already in the kitchen
- Appliance breakdowns
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
