- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Cudworth
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you have a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help, from canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Cudworth normally mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Cudworth goes well beyond the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Cudworth, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cudworth

Grease, kitchens and Cudworth
The FSA’s data shows about 3 hotels and guest houses registered across Cudworth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Cudworth is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Cudworth. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Cudworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Cudworth
Can you work in Cudworth outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Cudworth does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Cudworth?
Kitchens in Cudworth are inspected by Mole Valley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
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.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
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 cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Is Cudworth in your area?
Yes. We cover Cudworth and across Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Cudworth?
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 is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Langley Green Hospital (about 3.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
What affects the quote in Cudworth
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cudworth run smoothly.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
