- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are 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. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Westminster is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote

Advice
About our kitchen deep cleaning in Westminster
An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Build-up on walls, ceilings and behind equipment is part of what they see. A thorough deep clean brings every surface up to standard before or after an inspection. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, walls and ceilings and ranges and ovens, and people most often call us about grime behind and under cooking equipment and cooking equipment caked in carbon.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen is part of what they look at. Kitchens in Westminster often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Westminster kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3,298 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 440 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Westminster. Every one of them has corners the daily clean doesn’t reach. Kitchens in Westminster get their food hygiene inspections from Westminster council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Most London kitchens cannot close in the day, so deep cleaning is usually done overnight.
For busy kitchens close to London Victoria station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. Where a church or community hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Westminster, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean all year round.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and helps the equipment last.
FAQs for Westminster
Can you work in school kitchens in Westminster during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 85 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Westminster. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in Westminster outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Westminster needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is?
Inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is, including equipment. Deep cleaning brings the hidden areas up to standard so the whole kitchen is in good order.
Can you give me a price for a deep clean?
Size, equipment and the level of build-up all affect the price. Send us photos or details, or we can visit and give you a fixed price.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes, and many kitchens do. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.
Part by part
Cooking equipment
Clean equipment is easier to keep clean and inspectors notice the difference.
Floors
The worst floor grime hides along edges and under the line. We pay particular attention there.
When to call us in Westminster
Every service sends grease into the air. The canopy catches a lot of it, but some settles on walls, ceilings and equipment. Over weeks and months, it builds into a sticky layer.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Westminster (the nearest hospital is Westminster Hospital, about less than half a mile east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
