What affects the quote in Abinger Common
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

- Your last certificate, test record or report

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Abinger Common
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Abinger Common give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have rancid smells from grease in the duct and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can put it right. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Abinger Common it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Work in a small place like Abinger Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Common questions in Abinger Common
Which council inspects kitchens in Abinger Common?
In Abinger Common, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Abinger Common?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Visits to a village like Abinger Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
