Leave it or put it right?
In Tide Mills, deep cleans can be fitted around the kitchen’s quieter times. Leaving it until something goes wrong means doing it in a hurry at the worst possible time. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We diagnose before we treat
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures

Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tide Mills
An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Greasy walls, dirty ceilings and grime behind equipment all count. A thorough deep clean brings every surface up to standard whenever it’s needed. The work covers floors and floor drains, fryers and grills and walls and ceilings, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen taken over in poor condition and grime in corners that pests could exploit.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we’re called out for in Tide Mills
Daily cleaning focuses on the surfaces you can reach. Areas behind ranges and fryers, and high-level surfaces, tend to be missed, and that’s where the build-up grows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- Food debris trapped under the range
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Tide Mills, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Tide Mills can be planned properly.
- We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
- We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
- Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
- Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
- Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Walls and ceilings
Walls and ceilings collect grease carried up by heat and steam. We clean them from the top down, protecting the areas below.
Canopy exteriors
The canopy is one of the first things people see. Cleaning it with the rest of the kitchen leaves nothing out.
Tide Mills kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 10 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tide Mills. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In Tide Mills, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lewes council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as UTC@Harbourside or anywhere near Tide Mills, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital about within half a mile south-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Tide Mills: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Tide Mills?
Food hygiene inspections in Tide Mills are carried out by Lewes council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work overnight in Tide Mills?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
Floors are clean and dry by the time we have finished. Your team can come in and set up as normal at the start of the next shift.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and helps the equipment last.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning can’t restore
- Pests already in the kitchen
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
