Kitchen Deep Cleaning · Durham
From Saddler Street to the college halls, Durham's kitchens answer to the Food Hygiene Rating scale. We reset a kitchen to environmental-health standard and leave the dated proof.
A few quick questions about the canopy, filters and ducting in your Durham kitchen and you will have a guide price for the extraction clean - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorDurham's kitchens are graded on the same Food Hygiene Rating scale as everywhere else, and in a city of visitors and students the score on the door is quickly checked. The Saddler Street restaurants, the college dining halls and the North Road takeaways all rest their rating on cleanliness and condition.
Within a Durham County food economy of 4,631 rated premises, an officer scores handling, the structure and equipment, and the management of safety - and a scheduled deep clean defends the one you most directly control. We deep clean and certify commercial kitchens across Durham to inspection standard, working around term and service and leaving a dated photo record.
How food is prepared, cooked, cooled and stored. A deep clean removes the ingrained grease and debris that undermine safe handling in the first place.
The state of the structure and equipment - the area a scheduled deep clean is built to defend, and the one you can most directly influence before an inspection.
Your systems and records. A dated deep-clean certificate and photo record is exactly the due-diligence evidence that supports this score.
A daily clean is your team keeping the kitchen safe to use tonight. A deep clean is the periodic strip-back that resets the whole kitchen to a hygienic baseline - reaching the equipment interiors, the awkward gaps and the drainage a nightly close-down never covers.
From a single independent cafe to a care-home production kitchen, we work around your service - overnight or on a closing day - and leave a dated record of exactly what was done.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
A university college kitchen, feeding a full sitting through term, needed a reset without disrupting meals. We worked between services and vacations and left the kitchen and its records inspection-ready.
A busy cafe near Elvet needed resetting ahead of a re-inspection. We worked a closed day, cleaned behind the heavy kit, and left the kitchen and its records inspection-ready.
The best time to deep clean is before you need to - ahead of an inspection, before a change of operator or lease handover, or on a set interval that matches how hard the kitchen works. A kitchen running flat out through a busy season carbonises far faster than a quiet service, so we set a frequency to your real cooking volume rather than a calendar guess, and slot the work into a closed day so you lose no covers.
We walk the kitchen, agree the scope and plan the clean around a night or a closing day so no service is lost.
Equipment is opened and the area protected so the interiors, awkward gaps and drainage can be reached.
The cooking line, the surfaces, the floors and the drainage are degreased, descaled and sanitised to inspection standard.
You get a dated certificate, photographs of the work and a recommended re-clean interval for your records.
By how hard the kitchen works - we set the frequency to your cooking volume and fit the work into a quiet slot so service is not lost.
It defends the cleanliness and condition an officer scores, and the dated certificate supports the management score. It removes what pulls a rating down, though it cannot guarantee one.
Yes - overnight, early mornings and closed days at no extra charge.
Yes - the peninsula and Saddler Street, the Bailey and Elvet, North Road and the Market Place, and across County Durham.
Yes - canopy, filters, plenum, fan and accessible duct are cleaned to TR19 Grease alongside the kitchen, certified together.

North Road and the Market Place run the city's everyday trade of cafes, bakeries and takeaways, busy with students and visitors alike. Kitchens that busy carbonise faster than a nightly wipe holds, so we time a deep clean to a quiet day and reset them before the grease shows on the rating.
We have deep-cleaned commercial kitchens to environmental-health standard since 2001, across County Durham and the UK. From a single cafe to a care-home production kitchen, the job ends the same way: a kitchen reset to inspection standard, with the certificate and photographs to prove it.
