Kitchen duct cleaning in Little London
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. Common call-outs are for rancid smells from grease in the duct and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Little London? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Most kitchens in Little London fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near Little London, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
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, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Little London questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Little London?
That’s Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Little London. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can school kitchens in Little London be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Little London. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.

Why deal with it now?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Little London as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. A fault that closes a site in a village like Little London affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Fully insured
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Little London
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Luke’s Hospital (about 4.1 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Little London
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Little London. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Little London sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Little London, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Old St Peter and St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Little London, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chilworth Manor is about 2.5 miles west), access may need planning.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Little London.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
