How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Tonbridge
Every deep clean we carry out in Tonbridge takes in the whole kitchen: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely as that’s where grease and food debris gather. We’re often asked to deal with greasy, slippery kitchen floors and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, on fryers and grills, walls and ceilings and ranges and ovens.
Grease traps fill up with fat and food scraps, and a full trap lets fat through to the drains. Emptying and cleaning on a schedule keeps drains in Tonbridge running.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Never cook with the extract switched off
If we spot anything that needs attention, like damaged surfaces or a greasy canopy, we tell you. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and attracting pests.
Part by part
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens in schools, care homes and hospitals need cleaning that fits around mealtimes. We work outside meal service.
Cooking equipment
Equipment collects hardened deposits. They’re removed in a way that suits each appliance.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tonbridge
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why deal with it now?
An inspection can come at any time. Build-up in hidden areas is the kind of thing inspectors notice even when the daily clean is good. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. Before an inspection or an insurer’s visit in Tonbridge, it helps to have up-to-date records.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Tonbridge
- A written report with photos after every visit
- We diagnose before we treat
- We are fully insured
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Three things shape a visit in Tonbridge: when you’re closed, where we can park and how we get to the system.
- We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
- Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
- Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
- We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
- The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Tonbridge
Which council inspects kitchens in Tonbridge?
That is Tonbridge and Malling council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tonbridge. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can school kitchens in Tonbridge be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 25 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Tonbridge. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?
That is often where it’s dirtiest, so we reach it wherever it’s safe to do so. We check what can be moved safely at the start.
Commercial kitchens in Tonbridge
The FSA’s data shows about 24 pubs, bars and clubs registered in and around Tonbridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Food hygiene inspections in Tonbridge are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a café or takeaway near Tonbridge station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Tonbridge (the nearest hospital is Tonbridge Cottage Hospital, about 1.4 miles south), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. School kitchens, at schools like New Beacon School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
