How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Hoe
Any kitchen we clean in Hoe gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you are dealing with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can put it right. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Hoe? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Hoe goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Hoe starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Hoe
Do you work overnight in Hoe?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hoe keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hoe in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hoe. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
What do I get after the 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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hoe and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hoe.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Somewhere as small as Hoe, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Hoe kitchens: local notes
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Hoe and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Hoe sits within the area of 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. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hoe. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hatchlands Park is about 4 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mark or elsewhere in Hoe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hoe is St. Luke’s Hospital, about 5.6 miles north-west.
