Gomshall: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Gomshall be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Gomshall. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work overnight in Gomshall?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Gomshall does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you work in Gomshall?
Yes. We work in Gomshall and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Gomshall
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Typical jobs include fat running down the canopy edge and poor airflow at the canopy, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Gomshall start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Most kitchens in Gomshall 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, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a village or hamlet like Gomshall, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Gomshall
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Gomshall is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Grease, kitchens and Gomshall
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Gomshall. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Gomshall, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Gomshall is covered by 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.
For kitchens close to Gomshall station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Church of St James or elsewhere in Gomshall, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Luke’s Hospital is the nearest hospital to Gomshall, about 4.9 miles west.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
