Kitchen extraction cleaning in Ewshot
Kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Ewshot. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep grease collection points emptied
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Ewshot
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Ewshot give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Ewshot start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Somewhere as small as Ewshot, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ewshot
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like Ewshot, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Grease, kitchens and Ewshot
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in and around Ewshot, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Ewshot are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Ewshot falls to 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 3.4 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Ewshot, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Nicholas' School or anywhere near Ewshot, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Ewshot is about 2 miles south of Fleet, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Ewshot, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, and Ewshot is one of them. We also work in Guildford, about 11 miles from Ewshot.

We also cover Warren Corner (1 mile south-west), Redlands (1 mile west), Dora's Green (1 mile south), Hog Hatch (1 mile south-east) and Crondall (1 mile west). Further out, we also cover Guildford (11 miles east), Woking (12 miles north-east), Camberley (8 miles north-east), Farnham (3 miles south-east), Frimley (7 miles north-east) and Haslemere (12 miles south-east).

Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Ewshot questions
Can school kitchens in Ewshot be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ewshot. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in Ewshot be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Why deal with it now?
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 current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
