Kitchen deep cleaning in Waterbeach

Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up, along with the time and access a daily clean doesn’t have. The work covers fryers and grills, stainless steel surfaces and walls and ceilings, and the jobs we see most are grease stains on walls near the cooking line and grime behind and under cooking equipment.

In a village or hamlet like Waterbeach, 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.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Waterbeach

Built-up grease around the cooking line is something that can burn. The longer it’s left, the more there is on top of what’s in the ductwork. Deep cleaning removes it. In a small place like Waterbeach, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

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 make a difference.

Between visits

So the system stays in good health:

  • Keep the extract running while you cook
  • Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
  • Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
  • Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so

We put equipment back where it belongs so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that from then on.

If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and attracting pests.

How the job changes from site to site

Floors

A clean floor is safer for staff and makes the daily mop more effective.

Canopy exteriors

Cleaning inside the extract system is a TR19 job. Many kitchens book both together.

Waterbeach questions

Can you work in Waterbeach outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

Which environmental health team covers Waterbeach?

In Waterbeach, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

Do you do the kitchen and extract together?

Yes, we can. We can plan both on the same visit or over consecutive visits to suit the kitchen.

Do you work in Waterbeach?

Yes. We work in Waterbeach and across West Sussex, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How do you protect the area?

We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.

Kitchen deep cleaning around Waterbeach

Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Waterbeach and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them has corners the daily clean does not reach. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Waterbeach. 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.

Hall and church kitchens, near The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize or anywhere around Waterbeach, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Waterbeach, such as a historic house like Goodwood House (about 0.5 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.

Waterbeach is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. We provide kitchen deep cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Waterbeach and the rest of West Sussex.

When something else is needed

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
  • An infestation that needs specialist treatment

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on in Waterbeach

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

What we are called out for in Waterbeach

Ovens, ranges, grills and fryers build up baked-on deposits. Daily wiping only deals with the surface and it thickens over time.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
  • Grime in corners that pests could exploit
  • Grease built up on walls and ceilings
  • A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit

Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Chichester Centre, about 2.1 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Waterbeach.

What your quote should include

  • Whether a survey comes first
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Managing agents and facilities teams in Waterbeach

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Somewhere as small as Waterbeach, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  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. We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
  5. 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 permits to work or site inductions
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
