How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Hookwood
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you are dealing with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
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.
Work in a small place like Hookwood 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. 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. In a small place like Hookwood, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hookwood
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Langley Green Hospital (about 2.6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Kitchen extracts in Hookwood
The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 16 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hookwood. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Hookwood is 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. It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hookwood. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Manorfield Primary and Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Hookwood, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hookwood
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
