Kitchen deep cleaning in Upperton

About our kitchen deep cleaning in Upperton

Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean. We clean the extract system and the room it serves, so the whole space is done in one go. It can also be booked on its own, between extract cleans. The work covers behind and under equipment, stainless steel surfaces and ranges and ovens, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen that needs a clean start and floors with grease along the edges.

In a place like Upperton, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.

We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How the job changes from site to site

Cooking equipment

Ranges, ovens, grills and fryers are cleaned inside and out, with each piece switched off and cool first.

School and care home kitchens

Kitchens that serve fixed mealtimes need careful planning. We work outside meal service.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Upperton and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Between visits

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:

  • Run the extract whenever the range is on
  • Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
  • Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
  • Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping

It’s easy to set the next date while we are there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind all year round.

Grease that is left only gets harder to remove. Booking one sooner keeps the work manageable, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.

When something else is needed

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
  • Appliance breakdowns
  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Where we work

  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Walls and ceilings

Upperton kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 37 pubs and bars and about 49 hotels and B&Bs in Upperton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Upperton are the job of Eastbourne council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Thomas A Becket Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Upperton, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. For a café close to Eastbourne station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or anywhere in Upperton, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

The process

There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. In a place like Upperton, we fit the visit around your hours.

  1. We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
  2. Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
  3. Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
  4. Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
  5. Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Getting a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why act early in Upperton

Food debris and grease in hidden corners can draw pests in. Cleaning it out removes what they’re looking for and prevention is much easier than cure. A site near Upperton that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Upperton: your questions answered

Can school kitchens in Upperton be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 12 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Upperton. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.

Can the work in Upperton be done at night or at weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Upperton keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What about areas you cannot get to?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?

Put food, utensils and small items away before any work starts. We will tell you anything else when we confirm the visit.

What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?

It takes in the places daily cleaning doesn’t reach, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. Equipment is cleaned inside and out.

How long will the kitchen be out of use?

That comes down to the kitchen, and a deep clean normally takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. You will know before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
