Kitchen deep cleaning in Wash Water, done properly
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it as that is where grease and food debris gather. The work covers behind and under equipment, stainless steel surfaces and fryers and grills, and people most often call us about grime in corners that pests could exploit and grease built up on walls and ceilings.
Somewhere as small as Wash Water, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We walk round with you or your manager to check everything is as agreed.
If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and drawing pests in.
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.
School and care home kitchens
School kitchens can be deep cleaned during the holidays, ready for the new term.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- Appliance breakdowns
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Walls and ceilings

Wash Water: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Wash Water?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Wash Water can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Wash Water?
Food hygiene inspections in Wash Water are carried out by West Berkshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Should we deep clean before an environmental health visit?
Cleanliness is one of the things inspectors assess. Deep cleaning takes care of grime in the places that are easy to miss and good daily cleaning keeps it that way.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Which areas does a deep clean cover?
It covers the full kitchen, from ceiling to floor. The exact list is agreed when we quote, so there are no surprises.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
The process
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. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. The timing of a visit to Wash Water is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- 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.
- The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Wash Water
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered across Wash Water and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wash Water. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Wash Water, such as a historic house like Highclere Castle (about 2.7 miles south), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 3.8 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.
