Common questions in Old Woking
Do you work overnight in Old Woking?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Old Woking keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Old Woking?
In Old Woking, it’s Woking council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What is TR19?
A BESA 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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Do you work in Old Woking?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Old Woking.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Old Woking
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you are dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help, from discharge points, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Old Woking covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Old Woking and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Kitchen extracts in Old Woking
There are about 70 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 34 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Old Woking, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. In Old Woking, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Woking council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Old Woking is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Old Woking, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Woking Community Hospital about 1.2 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Byfleet Manor is about 3.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Woking
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. With notice, the visit to Old Woking can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What else we do in Old Woking
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Old Woking
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Old Woking.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system

Related advice
Part by part
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.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
