How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Nutcombe
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Typical jobs include years of baked-on grease in the ducts and fat running down the canopy edge, on plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Surrey.
Most kitchens in Nutcombe 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.
In a small place like Nutcombe, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, 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 Nutcombe.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Nutcombe
There are about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 takeaways in and around Nutcombe, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Nutcombe are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Nutcombe sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Nutcombe, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital, about 1.7 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Amesbury School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Nutcombe is about 8 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Nutcombe and the rest of Surrey.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Nutcombe: your questions answered
Will you come out to Nutcombe?
Yes. Nutcombe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Nutcombe?
Fire safety enforcement in Nutcombe is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Nutcombe?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. 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. Somewhere as small as Nutcombe, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
