The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Tortington, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt doesn’t fall on clean areas.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Kitchen deep cleaning in Tortington, done properly
In Tortington, we fit deep cleans around the hours the kitchen cooks. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend, so the kitchen is ready for the next service. School kitchens are often done in the holidays. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, behind and under equipment and floors and floor drains, and common reasons people get in touch are a clean-up ahead of an inspection and cooking equipment caked in carbon.
In a village or hamlet like Tortington, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Tortington: local notes
There are about 24 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tortington, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them has corners the daily clean doesn’t reach. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tortington. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Arundel CofE Primary School or anywhere near Tortington, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arundel and District Hospital (about 1.4 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Part by part
Behind and under equipment
Behind and beneath the cooking line, grease and food debris collect. We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move.
Floors
A clean floor is safer for staff and makes daily cleaning easier.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Common questions in Tortington
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tortington?
Food hygiene inspections in Tortington are carried out by Arun 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 Tortington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Tortington can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Tortington in your area?
Yes. We cover Tortington and across West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
Behind and under the equipment is a key part of the job. Where an item is fixed we clean as far around and under it as possible.
What should we do before the deep clean?
Put food, utensils and small items away so they’re out of the way. We will tell you anything else when we confirm the visit.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes, and many kitchens do. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What else we do in Tortington
Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in Tortington
Steam and condensation carry grease to ceilings and high walls. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip back down.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- Floors with grease along the edges
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
Hall kitchens near St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere in Tortington may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tortington
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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 kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
