Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Burntcommon
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Burntcommon, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t 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. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Somewhere as small as Burntcommon, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Burntcommon
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. We’re often asked to deal with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods. Most calls from Burntcommon 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 Burntcommon 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, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Burntcommon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Burntcommon
Which fire service covers Burntcommon?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Burntcommon. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can school kitchens in Burntcommon be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Burntcommon, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Burntcommon?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Do you cover Burntcommon?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Burntcommon.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Burntcommon
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways in Burntcommon and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Burntcommon get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Burntcommon is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Clandon Park, about 2.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Burntcommon; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hospital like Woking Community Hospital, about 2.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near St William of York or anywhere around Burntcommon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Burntcommon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
