Commercial Oven Cleaning Service
A nationwide supplier of specialist commercial oven cleaning services
Commercial oven cleaning – not your cup of tea, but our bread and butter.
The Gold Standard for
Commercial Oven and Kitchen Equipment Cleaning
Industrial standard catering equipment – including ovens, grills, and fryers, is arguably the most frequently used aspect of a commercial kitchen, making it extremely vulnerable to residue build-up. With common ‘dirt’ such as burnt-on oil and grease proving difficult to remove from such complex and frequently used equipment, daily cleaning often isn’t enough to ensure the safety and cleanliness of commercial kitchens. That’s where professional oven and kitchen equipment cleaning comes into play.
Ingot Services are proud to offer a highly adaptable kitchen equipment cleaning service, delivered by fully accredited professionals. Working to achieve optimal results with minimal disruption, our expert teams achieve unrivalled levels of cleanliness through the safe disassembly and reassembly of equipment, allowing for a complete deep clean of all internal parts.
Commercial Oven Cleaning Specialists
Ingot Services are proud to provide a number of commercial oven and equipment cleaning formats to suit all clients, including:
Industrial Oven Cleaning
Ovens are often the hardest piece of equipment for kitchen staff to maintain. Typically in constant use, they are difficult to access for cleaning during a normal shift, meaning cleanliness and performance levels can fall quickly. Scheduling regular professional Industrial Oven Cleaning – preferably every 6 months – prevents residue from getting out of hand.
Industrial Fryer Cleaning
Fryers present a similar cleaning problem to ovens. Where they are present, they are likely to be in constant use – making any kind of significant cleaning a difficult task for regular staff. Our commercial cleaning experts are highly skilled and experienced in the safe removal of debris and build up from all models of industrial fryers.
Industrial Grill Cleaning
Though industrial grills are typically easier to clean than fryers and ovens, they are often subject to residue-build up in corners and within inaccessible parts. Whether dealing with flat sheet burger cookers, or vertical rotisseries grills, our commercial cleaning specialists are able to expertly clean and safely dismantle where required.
Industrial Range Cooker Cleaning
Both electric and gas range cookers are commonly subject to a combination of solid and liquid spills, alongside grease deposits, – negatively impacting both safety levels, and performance. Whilst daily cleaning will remove easily accessible residue, specialist cleaning is often required to thoroughly clean control knobs and hob fittings.
Fully Tailored Service
As long-established industry experts, the Ingot Services team understand that scheduling equipment cleaning can prove challenging for bustling commercial kitchens. That’s why we’ve worked to develop a highly flexible commercial oven and kitchen equipment cleaning format, available on both a one-off, and regular service, available both within, and outside of working hours, causing minimal disruption.
Regular Oven and Equipment Cleaning
Our regularly scheduled commercial oven and kitchen equipment cleaning service is highly suited to commercial kitchens subject to frequent use. This service ensures all aspects of industrial kitchen equipment are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, creating a safe environment for food preparation, and improving performance.
Ingot Services’ qualified experts are happy to assist in establishing a suitable equipment cleaning frequency for your commercial kitchen via consultation call.
One-Off Oven and Equipment Cleaning
Whilst regular commercial oven and equipment cleaning offers a convenient way to stay on top of both cleaning and regulation, one-off cleans can be arranged at any time, and may be especially appropriate for those;
- Taking over a new kitchen
- At the beginning and/or end of a period of disuse (e.g. start/end of summer season)
- Experiencing higher usage has than normal
Commercial Oven Cleaning
Legislation and Requirements
Maintaining consistently high standards of cleanliness across all spaces and equipment has become increasingly essential to the continued success of commercial kitchens across the hospitality industry, with commercial hygiene laws and regulations – particularly the Food Safety Act 1990 and Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – subject to regular enforcement.
All UK commercial kitchens – from those serving local cafes to Michelin Star restaurants – must actively adhere to stringent regulation surrounding both general cleanliness, and specific regiments in order to operate safely, and without legal consequence.
Ingot Services’ wide range of specialist cleaning services works to cover all commercial kitchen cleaning requirements. From biennial Vent Health Elite certified duct cleaning, to regularly scheduled deep cleaning, our offerings are built to satisfy legal requirements and obligations. In addition to this, correctly implemented specialist cleaning can bring a number of benefits to commercial kitchens, including;
Reduced risk of enforcement, closure or prosecution
Ingot Services’ commercial oven and kitchen equipment cleaning service is designed to help ensure utmost compliance with all relevant health and safety and hygiene requirements. Completed to a national standard by industry experts, and certified upon completion, this service works to keep commercial kitchens of all size and scope in line with legal obligations.
Insurance compliance
The vast majority of insurers offering policies covering commercial kitchens put forward stringent conditions surrounding regular cleaning of high-risk areas and appliances, with many refusing to cover incorrectly maintained spaces. Our industry-focused services offer all necessary paperwork and documentation upon their completion.
Improved working conditions for kitchen users
Satisfactory and safe working conditions are essential to the successful operation of a commercial kitchen. Our carefully curated list of commercial cleaning services holds working conditions amongst its foremost priorities, assisting in the creation of suitable environments posing minimal risk to kitchen users, and customers.
Improved Equipment Performance
For many types of equipment, cleanliness levels can have a significant impact on performance. With many poorly maintained ovens subject to premature breakdown or malfunction, regular equipment and oven cleaning can prove valuable to commercial kitchens of all scope and scale – potentially saving thousands of pounds in replacement and repair costs, and maximising efficiency.
Minimised fire risk
A fire originating in a poorly maintained commercial appliance can lead to the total loss of a business – risking serious harm to building users, and surrounding occupants. With buildups of grease and debris across kitchen equipment cited as a common contributor to significant fires, specialist cleaning is recommended on a regular basis.

Is commercial oven cleaning worth it?
Air duct cleaning is not just ‘worth it’, but in most cases (especially within commercial kitchens) a legal requirement for non-domestic properties. In spaces held to TR-19 standards, a professional company able to perform duct cleaning to a number of set standards, and to provide certification and documentation acting as evidence of cleaning undertaken must be hired at least once every two years to ensure the cleanliness and safety of the ductwork system.
In addition to keeping buildings across all sectors in line with legal and TR-19 standards, duct cleaning offers the following benefits to commercial kitchens:
- Reduced fire risk
- Decreased risk of infestation
- Insurance compliance
- Reduced risk of closure and prosecution
- Improved safety levels for all building users
What is the best way to keep commercial oven racks clean?
Maintaining oven rack cleanliness can be a difficult task to stay on top of in bustling commercial kitchens. Ingot Services highly recommend using a combination of a 'regular' cleaning schedule, and professional deep cleaning in order to ensure the cleanliness of industrial and commercial ovens as a whole - including oven racks.
In the time between scheduled deep cleans, Ingot's experts recommend keeping the oven and racks as free from crumbs as possible - removing them at the end of an operating day and removing any baked-on material with soapy water in order to prevent build-ups.
