What affects the quote in Tadworth
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Tadworth
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and grease building up behind the canopy filters.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Tadworth gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Tadworth questions
Can a school canteen extract in Tadworth be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tadworth. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tadworth?
In Tadworth, it’s Reigate and Banstead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Where do the greasy filters go?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tadworth
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. A site near Tadworth that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why Tadworth businesses choose us

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Tadworth.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Kitchen extracts in Tadworth
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Tadworth, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council inspect food businesses in Tadworth. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Tadworth sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For kitchens close to Tadworth station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Tadworth, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Headley Court is the nearest hospital to Tadworth, about 2 miles west.
