Next month, as the school bell rings for the final time before summer, catering teams across the education sector will be preparing for a well-earned pause. But behind the scenes, the quieter months present a golden opportunity to address an essential task: deep cleaning and maintaining school kitchens. 

At TWO Services, we work closely with schools, colleges and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) across the UK to deliver scheduled deep cleans, ventilation system cleans, and kitchen maintenance works during the summer holidays. This window of time - when kitchens are unused - is ideal for carrying out thorough work that safeguards your kitchen for the new academic year. 

Clean, compliant and ready for September 

In educational settings, cleanliness is not just about appearance - it’s a legal and operational requirement. Our deep cleaning service tackles the build-up of grease, carbon and grime that standard daily cleaning can’t reach. We also provide full ventilation hygiene services to ensure systems are fire-safe and compliant with TR19 guidelines. 

Whether you manage a single school or a group of sites, our teams can work flexibly around your needs. Many of our long-standing education clients choose to schedule their annual works with us every July or August to ensure everything is spotless, safe and compliant come September. 

Don’t let the heat compromise your cold storage

As temperatures rise during the summer, refrigeration equipment in school kitchens comes under increased pressure. Fridges and freezers must work harder to maintain safe temperatures - and any undetected faults could lead to costly breakdowns just when kitchens are preparing to reopen. 

Planned refrigeration maintenance during the holidays is a smart way to reduce the risk of failure, prevent unnecessary food waste and avoid potential hygiene issues. Our engineers can inspect your cold storage systems for early signs of wear and inefficiency - helping to protect food safety, lower energy bills and extend the lifespan of your equipment. 

Fire safety starts in the ductwork 

Grease-laden extraction systems are one of the leading fire risks in any kitchen - and schools are no exception. If these systems aren’t regularly cleaned and certified, they may even invalidate your insurance. TWO Services is proud to be a member of the BESA Vent Hygiene Register, meaning we can self-certify that our works meet the TR19 Grease specification - giving you complete peace of mind. 

Now booking for summer 2025 

With limited weeks between terms, summer diary slots are always in high demand. If you’d like to ensure your school kitchen is fully serviced and compliant before September, we recommend booking early.
