Kitchen deep cleaning for sites in The Pound

Kitchen deep cleaning in The Pound

Environmental health officers inspect the cleanliness of the whole premises. Greasy walls, dirty ceilings and grime behind equipment all count. A deep clean puts the whole kitchen in good order whenever it’s needed. If you have a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean and grime in corners that pests could exploit, we can help, from ranges and ovens, behind and under equipment and walls and ceilings onwards.

Work in a small place like The Pound starts with agreeing a date and access, and the deep clean is the same as anywhere: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

The process

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to The Pound can be planned properly.

  1. We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
  2. We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
  3. High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
  4. We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
  5. We finish the floors and walk round with you.

How to prepare

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice

Kitchen deep cleaning around The Pound

In The Pound, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection.

Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

The Pound questions

Do you work overnight in The Pound?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in The Pound keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Can you get to a site in The Pound?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, The Pound included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

What does commercial kitchen deep cleaning cost?

We give you a fixed price after looking at the kitchen. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll arrange it and the quote is usually with you within one working day.

Is there anything we have to do beforehand?

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

Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?

We clean behind and under as much equipment as can be safely reached. Where an item is fixed we clean as far around and under it as possible.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

How long will the kitchen be out of use?

That comes down to the kitchen, though a deep clean typically takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. We’ll confirm when we quote.

What a clean will not put right

Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:

  • An infestation that needs specialist treatment
  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer

If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the work covers

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

What the work involves, part by part

Behind and under equipment

The areas behind and under equipment are where grime hides. We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move.

Canopy exteriors

The outside of the canopy collects grease and dust. We clean the exterior as part of the deep clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What happens if it’s left?

Old grease hardens and bonds to surfaces. Regular deep cleans are easier than rescuing a neglected kitchen, and surfaces last better. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to The Pound is calmer for everyone.

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 will go through it with you.

Keeping the system healthy

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:

  • Run the extract whenever the range is on
  • Wipe splashes before they harden
  • Keep a cleaning log up to date
  • Do not let debris build up behind the line

A deep-cleaned kitchen is easier to keep clean. Keep on top of the daily routine, and the next deep clean is lighter work.

Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and protects the surfaces.

Common problems we fix in The Pound

Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. Daily wiping only deals with the surface, so it builds up underneath.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
  • A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
  • Cooking equipment caked in carbon
  • A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 5.2 miles south-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
