Industrial Oven & Equipment Cleaning FAQs
Ingot Services specialise in industrial oven cleaning and commercial kitchen equipment cleaning for customers throughout the UK. We have had over 24 years experience in all types of industrial oven and kitchen cleaning for a host of organisations including restaurants, hotel chains, schools, businesses, events companies and more.
Our industrial cleaning services include kitchen deep cleaning, industrial oven cleaning, equipment cleaning, duct cleaning and grease extract system cleaning. We have been recently awarded the contract for cleaning, maintenance and testing of the extract systems of all of Coventry City Council’s schools and social care sites. We also offer a price match guarantee for any of our industrial cleaning services. Once our work is complete, the client is given a hygiene certificate for insurance purposes.
Commercial kitchen cleaning is governed by strict guidelines set out in the Food Safety Acts of 1990 and 1995. Whilst all kitchens should be cleaned on a daily basis, there are areas in a kitchen where dust, dirt and germs can accumulate. Our job at Ingot is to get into these hard to reach places and ensure all industrial ovens and other kitchen equipment, surfaces, canopies, vents, ducts and filters are kept thoroughly clean.
As Well as Industrial Ovens, Which Items of Equipment do Ingot Services Clean?
At Ingot Services we cater for all your deep cleaning needs including canopies, grease filters, grilles, prep tables, microwaves, hard top stoves, combination ovens, bain maries and steamers. All cooking equipment is dismantled by hand, fully deep cleaned and re-assembled.
We also clean walls, floors and ceilings including lights, vents and high level pipework as well as all the usual kitchen fixtures and fittings.
How Regularly do Industrial Ovens and Other Equipment Listed Above Need Cleaning?
We recommend that kitchens are deep cleaned at least once a year. Sometimes with a heavily used kitchen we would recommend every six months.
Do Ingot Provide One Off Cleans as well as Regular Equipment Cleans?
Yes we provide one-off cleans, as well as six monthly and annual equipment cleans. Kitchen cleans tend to be one offs, usually when the premises has changed hands. Usually owners keep on top of things from here.
When do Ingot Services carry undertake kitchen cleans / kitchen equipment cleans?
Kitchen cleans take place at a time that causes the least disruption to the customer, which means that much of our work is carried out at night when the kitchens are not in use. Every kitchen deep clean is tailored to our customer’s requirements.
How Long Does it Take?
Most full kitchen cleans take a working day or one night to complete.
How do Ingot Services Quote For the Job?
On receipt of an enquiry we will ask a series of questions, which will enable us to price up the job. For unusual requests, we carry out a no obligation site visit to identify the cleaning that is required. Otherwise, for most standard kitchen equipment cleans, we can quote straight away by phone and confirm by email. Our price depends on how many people we think it will take to complete the job in the time available.
How Quickly Can Ingot do the Work After They Receive the Client's Instruction?
We usually carry out the work within two weeks of receiving our client’s instruction. Sometimes work takes place much quicker, depending on our client’s urgency
Why Does it Pay to Hire a Professional Kitchen Cleaning Contractor?
It is much more cost efficient as we can clean a horribly-dirty kitchen in about eight hours, whereas it might take the owner a week. Hiring a professional kitchen cleaning contractor will ensure your business complies with health and safety regulations and that your equipment is working efficiently and safely. A professional cleaning service gives the client ultimate peace of mind. Our customers know that their kitchen is cleaned to the highest standards, which means one less thing to worry about.
What are the Health and Safety Regulations When it Comes to Keeping Kitchen Equipment Clean?
Commercial kitchen hygiene is controlled by stringent guidelines set out in the Food Safety Acts of 1990 and 1995. This states that 'All Equipment must be kept clean and in good repair.' Our industrial oven and kitchen equipment cleaning services will ensure that health and safety regulations are adhered to.
What is the Consequence of Not Keeping Kitchen Equipment Clean?
Any equipment failure causes great inconvenience as it will result in lost business while the equipment is being fixed or replaced. Also poor hygiene can lead to potential food poisoning or an influx of pests, which can damage a clients’ reputation and ultimately lead to loss of business.
