We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a smaller place like Bellfields, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Bellfields
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
What we are most often called out for:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Peter's Church or anywhere around Bellfields, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Questions from Bellfields
Can a school canteen extract in Bellfields be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 27 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bellfields. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Bellfields?
The local authority for Bellfields is Guildford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Bellfields?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Bellfields, so let us know how to reach it.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Bellfields kitchens: local notes
