Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Brockham
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Brockham, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Common problems we fix in Brockham
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Look out for any of the following:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
School kitchens, at schools like North Downs Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brockham
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Most calls from Brockham come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Most kitchens in Brockham fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a small place like Brockham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Brockham: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Brockham?
In Brockham, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Brockham?
Brockham is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Brockham?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
Do you cover Brockham?
Yes. Brockham is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Brockham.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
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.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Brockham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Brockham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Brockham is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Brockham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Brockham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 4.2 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Brockham is about 2 miles east of Dorking, in Surrey. Sites in Brockham get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures.

Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Brockham
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brockham
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
