Kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Green, done properly
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and stale cooking odours from the system. When a restaurant in Lower Green 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.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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 pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Lower Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 22 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Lower Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Lower Green 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. Environmental health officers from Elmbridge council inspect food businesses in Lower Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lower Green.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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 about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote

Questions from Lower Green
Which fire service covers Lower Green?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Lower Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lower Green?
Kitchens in Lower Green are inspected by Elmbridge council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Green?
In Lower Green, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cranmere Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
