How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Dormansland
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Dormansland give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Dormansland start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Most kitchens in Dormansland fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as Dormansland, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself 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 Dormansland before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby 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.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Dormansland is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A fault that closes a site in a village like Dormansland affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Dormansland kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops across Dormansland and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). 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 Dormansland. 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. Fire safety in Dormansland falls to 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Dormansland Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Dormansland is Queen Victoria Hospital, about 1.9 miles south.

Common problems we fix in Dormansland
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you cook for passing trade around Dormans station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Dormansland
Is Dormansland within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dormansland included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Dormansland?
Kitchens in Dormansland are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
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.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Dormansland
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
