About our kitchen extract cleaning in Fairlands
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right, from extract fans, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Fairlands, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Fairlands, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Fairlands
Do you work in villages like Fairlands?
Yes, Fairlands is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Fairlands in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 14 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Fairlands, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Fairlands: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Fairlands 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. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Fairlands. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Fairlands 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.
Where a hall near St Alban's Church, or anywhere in Fairlands, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Guildford Castle is about 2.8 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

The nearest railway station is Guildford station, about 2.4 miles south-east of the centre.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fairlands
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. In a place like Fairlands, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Fairlands.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos 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.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. 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.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What we are called out for in Fairlands
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
School kitchens, at schools like Worplesdon Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
