Kitchen extract cleaning in Mayes Green
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. We are often asked to deal with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and poor airflow at the canopy, across plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Mayes Green start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Most kitchens in Mayes Green 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, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a village or hamlet like Mayes Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Mayes Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Mayes Green
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
A hospital like Horsham Hospital, about 6 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
Kitchen extract cleaning around Mayes Green
It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mayes Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Mayes Green. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. With notice, the visit to Mayes Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.

FAQs for Mayes Green
Do you cover smaller places like Mayes Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mayes Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Mayes Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Mayes Green keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
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. We do not leave it behind.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere as small as Mayes Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
