Margery kitchen extract cleaning
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Margery, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Margery
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about grease smells coming from the extract and fat running down the canopy edge. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Margery start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A clean in Margery covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What the work covers

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Margery, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
FAQs for Margery
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Margery during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Margery. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Margery?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Margery keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you cover Margery?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Margery included.
Common problems we fix in Margery
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
School kitchens, at schools like Kingswood Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote shows VAT
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Margery and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Margery: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 47 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops across Margery and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Margery is covered by 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. In Margery, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as East Surrey Hospital (about 3.4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God or elsewhere in Margery, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
