Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Laleham
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Laleham, typically within one working day. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and extract fans, and people most often call us about a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and poor airflow at the canopy. When a restaurant in Laleham asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Laleham goes.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Laleham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When to call us in Laleham
Grease in an extract starts as 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Laleham CofE VA Primary School or anywhere near Laleham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

Managing agents and facilities teams in Laleham
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
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.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
Why deal with it now?
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. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. A site near Laleham that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Full insurance on every job
- We diagnose before we treat
- Trading since 2009
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Laleham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Laleham. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Laleham sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Spelthorne council inspect food businesses in Laleham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Laleham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ashford Hospital (about 2 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Laleham
Can school kitchens in Laleham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 12 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Laleham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Laleham?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a smaller place like Laleham, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
