Kitchen extract cleaning in Lingfield
Any kitchen we clean in Lingfield 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. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Lingfield, you get one team and one number for every site.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a smaller place like Lingfield, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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 can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Your opening hours decide when we come to Lingfield, not ours.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Kitchen extracts in Lingfield
There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lingfield, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The fire and rescue service for Lingfield is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Tandridge council inspect food businesses in Lingfield. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

What we’re called out for in Lingfield
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Commuter trade near Lingfield station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep grease collection points emptied
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lingfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.

What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Lingfield?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Lingfield
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
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 work begins.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
