Kitchen deep cleaning for sites in West Hampstead

Kitchen deep cleaning in West Hampstead, done properly

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 and the time to do it properly. If you have grease built up on walls and ceilings and a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned, we can put it right, from floors and floor drains, walls and ceilings and ranges and ovens onwards.

London kitchens work hard in small spaces, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In West Hampstead, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from West Hampstead

Do you clean school kitchens in West Hampstead in the summer holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 70 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of West Hampstead, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Can you come to West Hampstead after we close?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in West Hampstead does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.

Do inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is?

Cleanliness is one of the things inspectors assess. A deep clean is a good way to get on top of build-up and good daily cleaning keeps it that way.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.

Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?

Behind and under the equipment is a key part of the job. Where an item is fixed we clean around it as fully as we can.

Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?

Not much. Clear food and loose items from surfaces, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The number of sites or systems

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The site address and the type of premises

To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

How it works

Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in West Hampstead saves time on the night.

  1. A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
  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. The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.

Preparing for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What a clean won’t put right

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen deep cleaning will not do:

  • An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
  • Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean

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

What the work covers

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

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

How the job changes from site to site

Walls and ceilings

Walls and ceilings collect grease carried up by heat and steam. They’re cleaned first, working downwards, protecting the areas below.

School and care home kitchens

Care home and hospital kitchens can’t close for long. We plan the work to fit.

For landlords and multi-site operators

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in West Hampstead

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 51 pubs, bars and clubs and about 19 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central West Hampstead. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day. Kitchens in West Hampstead get their food hygiene inspections from Camden council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; New End Hospital, about 0.5 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to West Hampstead. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Emmanuel Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
