About our kitchen extract cleaning in Ash
Any kitchen we clean in Ash gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Ash, you get one team and one number for every site.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Ash goes well beyond the canopy.
In a smaller place like Ash, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Ash
Food Standards Agency data counts about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 18 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Ash, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Ash. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ash. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you cook for passing trade around Ash station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hospital like Guildford Hospital, about 4.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ash?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
School kitchens, at schools like Walsh CofE Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Ash, not ours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

FAQs for Ash
Is Ash within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ash is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can school kitchens in Ash be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 19 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ash. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
