Ewell kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for Ewell and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ewell
Any kitchen we clean in Ewell 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. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and people most often call us about cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ewell, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Most kitchens in Ewell fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Most kitchens in a town like Ewell can’t close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Ewell
Who inspects food businesses in Ewell?
In Ewell, it’s Epsom and Ewell council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can school kitchens in Ewell be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 20 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ewell. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 is not written into law, 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.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Ewell?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We arrive in Ewell once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ewell
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Ewell
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We are fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- In business since 2009

When to call us in Ewell
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
School kitchens, at schools like St Clement's Catholic Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- What insurance they carry
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What paperwork you get at the end
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
