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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in The Holt
The work runs from top to bottom. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last, so nothing falls onto surfaces we have already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before work begins. The work covers floors and floor drains, behind and under equipment and stainless steel surfaces, and common reasons people get in touch are food debris that could attract pests and food debris trapped under the range.
In a village or hamlet like The Holt, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The Holt questions
Can the work in The Holt be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in The Holt can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in The Holt?
The local authority for The Holt is Wokingham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in The Holt
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 work begins.
What the work involves, part by part
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens in schools, care homes and hospitals need cleaning that fits around mealtimes. We plan around their hours.
Floors
Kitchen floors collect grease, food debris and grime. Floors are done at the end reaching under and behind equipment wherever it’s safe to move.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as The Holt, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Kitchen deep cleaning in The Holt: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of The Holt. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in The Holt get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Robert Piggott CofE Infant School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 3.9 miles north), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; St Mark's Hospital, about 4.4 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to The Holt.
