Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Dormans Park?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Dormans Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Dormans Park, done properly
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about stale cooking odours from the system and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Most calls from Dormans Park 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.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Dormans Park goes.
For a kitchen in or near Dormans Park, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Dormans Park?

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Dormans Park and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You send pictures 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, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters

Why it’s worth doing now in Dormans Park
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Dormans Park
The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs and bars registered across Dormans Park 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. Dormans Park sits within the area of West Sussex 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 Tandridge council inspect food businesses in Dormans Park. 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 kitchen near Dormans station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. School kitchens, at schools like Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
