Kitchen extract cleaning around Limpsfield
Food Standards Agency records list about 30 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Limpsfield. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The fire and rescue service for Limpsfield is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Limpsfield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Commuter trade near Oxted station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Limpsfield CofE Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Limpsfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Limpsfield
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Limpsfield give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. 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.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a village or hamlet like Limpsfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods

- Extract fans
What affects the quote in Limpsfield
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
FAQs for Limpsfield
Which fire authority looks after Limpsfield?
Fire safety enforcement in Limpsfield is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which environmental health team covers Limpsfield?
Kitchens in Limpsfield are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself 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 Limpsfield.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
