About our kitchen extract cleaning in Dawesgreen
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Dawesgreen covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Dawesgreen covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Dawesgreen, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Dawesgreen
Will you come out to Dawesgreen?
Yes, Dawesgreen is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Dawesgreen 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 drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
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.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dawesgreen
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Dawesgreen
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Dawesgreen, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Grease, kitchens and Dawesgreen
Dawesgreen sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Dawesgreen get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Burys Court School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Dawesgreen is East Surrey Hospital, about 4 miles east.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Dawesgreen
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work 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 Dawesgreen run smoothly.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Dawesgreen
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
