Kitchen extraction cleaning in Epsom
Kitchen extract cleaning across Epsom and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Epsom
Across Epsom, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. 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. Typical jobs include rancid smells from grease in the duct and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Epsom, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
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 Epsom goes well beyond the canopy.
Around a town like Epsom, extract cleaning normally means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Epsom
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Epsom?
That is Epsom and Ewell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Epsom. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work at weekends in Epsom?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Epsom does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Is Epsom in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Epsom.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Send us pictures of the system and we can plan most of a visit in Epsom before we arrive.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Why act early in Epsom
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A fresh certificate on file is the best thing to have when someone asks to see your records.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Epsom
Food Standards Agency records include about 17 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Epsom. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Epsom and Ewell council inspect food businesses in Epsom. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Epsom falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Commuter trade near Epsom station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Where a hall near St. Barnabas Church, or anywhere in Epsom, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Epsom (Fitznells Manor is about 1.3 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Epsom is about 12 miles south of Kensington, in Surrey. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Epsom and the rest of Surrey. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, Epsom among them. Our London page covers sites nearby, about 14 miles away.
We cover every part of KT19, KT18 and KT17 for kitchen extract cleaning and the roads nearby.

What’s near Epsom
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Wellington Public House, Rosebery School and Epsom Common. Epsom has its own railway station: Epsom station. A little further out are The Ashley Centre (under half a mile south) and Cockney Museum (2.1 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include The Lake and Bonesgate Open Space.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
