Kitchen deep cleaning in Upton

How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Upton

Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean. The extract is cleaned inside, and the kitchen around it is cleaned too, so the whole space is done in one go. It can also be booked on its own, between extract cleans. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, floors and floor drains and walls and ceilings, and people most often call us about a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Upton, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Upton kitchens: local notes

There are about 423 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 314 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Upton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens like these build up grease behind and under equipment, on walls and on ceilings. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. In Upton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Newham 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.

A summer deep clean suits schools such as Elmhurst Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Queen Mary's Hospital for the East End, about 1 mile west, is the nearest hospital to Upton. If you serve passing trade near Forest Gate station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

Upton is about 1 mile north of Plaistow, in Greater London. We carry out kitchen deep cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Upton and the rest of Greater London.

Upton questions

Can a school kitchen in Upton be done out of term time?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 71 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Upton. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Which council inspects kitchens in Upton?

Kitchens in Upton are inspected by Newham council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.

Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?

Where equipment can be moved safely, we clean behind and under it. Not everything can be moved safely and we’ll explain what we can reach.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?

The whole kitchen: walls, ceilings, floors and equipment, plus the areas behind and under the equipment. We agree the exact scope with you before work begins.

Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?

Clear food and small items from surfaces. Cooking equipment needs to be switched off and allowed to cool when we arrive.

What accreditations do you have?

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.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • How big the system is
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The site address and the type of premises

For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

What a clean will not put right

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
  • The inside of the extract system
  • Drainage problems beyond the kitchen

If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Floors and floor drains
  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Behind and under equipment
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Ranges and ovens
  • Fryers and grills

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
  • Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
  • Do not wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
  • Deal with spills straight away

When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We walk round with you or your manager before we go.

A regular plan means build-up never gets out of hand. Pairing them with TR19 extract cleaning covers the room and the system together.

What the work involves, part by part

School and care home kitchens

Kitchens that serve fixed mealtimes need careful planning. We plan around their hours.

Floors

Removing grease from the floor cuts slip risks and makes the daily mop more effective.

How it works

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Before any visit in Upton, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.

  1. We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
  2. Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
  3. We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
  4. We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
  5. The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
