Kitchen extract cleaning in Old Dean
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you’re dealing with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can help. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Old Dean usually mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Old Dean goes.
Around a smaller place like Old Dean, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Kitchen extracts in Old Dean
Food Standards Agency data counts about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Old Dean. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Kitchens in Old Dean get their food hygiene inspections from Surrey Heath council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Old Dean falls to 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Collingwood College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Frimley Park Hospital is the nearest hospital to Old Dean, about 2.4 miles south-west. Where a hall near St Martin's Church, or anywhere in Old Dean, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Why act early in Old Dean
Grease that is left only gets thicker. 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. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Old Dean than wait for a failure.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What else we do in Old Dean
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Tell us when your site near Old Dean is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
