About our kitchen deep cleaning in Whempstead
In Whempstead, we fit deep cleans around the hours the kitchen cooks. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend so there’s no lost trade. School kitchens are often done in the holidays. If you’re dealing with grime in corners that pests could exploit and greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Whempstead, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What the work involves, part by part
Walls and ceilings
Surfaces close to the range build up grease quickly. They get a thorough degrease, including the joints and edges.
Behind and under equipment
Food debris behind equipment can attract pests. Clearing it out is a core part of a deep clean.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. The timing of a visit to Whempstead is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice
Whempstead: your questions answered
Can you come to Whempstead after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Whempstead does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Whempstead?
In Whempstead, it’s East Hertfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. 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.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
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 on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Deal with spills right away
- Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
Anything we notice during the clean, such as worn flooring or a dirty extract, is pointed out. It may need an extract clean or another trade.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
What we are called out for in Whempstead
Every service sends grease into the air. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. Over weeks and months, it builds into a sticky layer.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
- A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Hertford County Hospital, about 5.4 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Whempstead.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
