Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Church Town
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Church Town, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Church Town covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like Church Town, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Church Town: the local picture
Look up Church Town on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Church Town. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Church Town. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Church Town sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic (about 2.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Godstone Village School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Church Town, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Church Town is about 3 miles south-east of Caterham, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Church Town, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
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 ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Church Town: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Church Town?
The local authority for Church Town is Tandridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to Church Town after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Church Town before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
