Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lingfield Common
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy or filters and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and vertical risers. When a restaurant in Lingfield Common asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Lingfield Common: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why deal with it now?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Lingfield Common: your questions answered
Can the work in Lingfield Common be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Lingfield Common can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Lingfield Common during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Lingfield Common, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
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, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
What a clean won’t put right
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere as small as Lingfield Common, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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. That’s our job.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Lingfield Common
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lingfield Common. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Lingfield Common 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. Kitchens in Lingfield Common get their food hygiene inspections from Tandridge council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Victoria Hospital (about 3.5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Lingfield Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lingfield Primary School or anywhere near Lingfield Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site

Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
