What we are called out for in Thornton Heath
Every service sends grease into the air. The canopy catches a lot of it, but some settles on walls, ceilings and equipment. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
What we are most often called out for:
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
If you run a café or takeaway near Thornton Heath station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether VAT is included

How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Thornton Heath
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely, because that’s where the worst build-up hides. Typical jobs include a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean and hardened deposits on kitchen equipment, on stainless steel surfaces, floors and floor drains 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 Thornton Heath from adding to the problem.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Advice
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- The inside of the extract system
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor

What else we do in Thornton Heath
Common questions in Thornton Heath
Do you work at weekends in Thornton Heath?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Thornton Heath needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does London parking affect a job in Thornton Heath?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes. Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean and the whole space is cleaned in one go. The extract clean comes with a certificate and photo report.
Can you give me a price for a deep clean?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to see what’s involved first. Kitchen deep cleaning is quoted at a fixed price, typically within one working day.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
A typical kitchen takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen including the floors at the end. It’s planned around your opening times.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What affects the quote in Thornton Heath
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Do not let the extract cleaning slip
- Do not let debris build up behind the line
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean between inspections.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and helps the equipment last.
How the job changes from site to site
Cooking equipment
Baked-on grease and carbon build up on cooking equipment. They’re removed in a way that suits each appliance.
Behind and under equipment
Behind and beneath the cooking line, grease and food debris collect. Where equipment can be moved safely, we move it and clean underneath.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Thornton Heath: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 15 pubs, bars and clubs and about 10 hotels and guest houses across Thornton Heath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. Environmental health officers from Croydon council inspect food businesses in Thornton Heath. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in Thornton Heath, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Croydon University Hospital (about 0.7 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
