Kitchen extract cleaning in Little Bookham
Across Little Bookham, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. 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. If you’re dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Surrey.
A clean in Little Bookham covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Around a smaller place like Little Bookham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Grease, kitchens and Little Bookham
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Little Bookham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Little Bookham falls to 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 Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Little Bookham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Polesden Lacey, about 1.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Little Bookham; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Little Bookham
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Little Bookham
Will you come out to Little Bookham?
Yes. Little Bookham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Little Bookham?
Food hygiene inspections in Little Bookham are carried out by Guildford council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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 do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Little Bookham than wait for a failure.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Nearby places to Little Bookham
What else we do in Little Bookham
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Little Bookham?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Headley Court about 5.1 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Tell us when your site near Little Bookham is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Managing agents and facilities teams in Little Bookham
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
