Why it’s worth doing now in Ashford Common
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ashford Common
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Ashford Common, usually within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Ashford Common goes well beyond the canopy.
Kitchens around a place like Ashford Common are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Questions from Ashford Common
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ashford Common?
That is Spelthorne council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ashford Common. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can school kitchens in Ashford Common be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ashford Common. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Wash or exchange the filters often
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Ashford Common
Look up Ashford Common on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 32 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ashford Common. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. In Ashford Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Spelthorne council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Ashford Common 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Saviour, or anywhere in Ashford Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ashford Hospital about 1.7 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Meadhurst Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What else we do in Ashford Common
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What we do, step by step
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. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a smaller place like Ashford Common, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
