Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Godstone
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Kitchens in Godstone book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Somewhere as small as Godstone, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Godstone
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Godstone. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. The fire and rescue service for Godstone is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Godstone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Godstone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Godstone (Titsey Place is about 4.1 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Godstone is about 3 miles south of Caterham, in Surrey. Sites in Godstone get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Godstone is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey we cover for commercial clients. There’s also a page for London, about 17 miles away.

What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Godstone
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Godstone.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Godstone is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Godstone
A kitchen in Godstone builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Godstone Village School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What hours they’ll be on site
Part by part
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.
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.
Godstone questions
Do you cover smaller places like Godstone?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Godstone outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How long will the clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
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. Leave those to us.
