Kitchen extract cleaning in Dippenhall
Any kitchen we clean in Dippenhall gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. We’re often asked to deal with rancid smells from grease in the duct and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, on vertical risers, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. When a restaurant in Dippenhall asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Dippenhall, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. 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.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Dippenhall are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Kitchen extract cleaning in Dippenhall: the local picture
Look up Dippenhall on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Dippenhall, up to about a mile and a half out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Dippenhall sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Dippenhall, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Francis, or anywhere in Dippenhall, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Fleet Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Dippenhall, about 5.1 miles north.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Dippenhall?
In Dippenhall, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Potters Gate CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- When the next visit should be, and why
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What affects the quote in Dippenhall
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
