Kitchen duct cleaning in Oxted
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Oxted typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Oxted: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Oxted gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Oxted
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Oxted kitchens: local notes
Look up Oxted on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 30 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Oxted. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Food hygiene inspections in Oxted are the job of Tandridge council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oxted sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a café or takeaway near Hurst Green station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Agatha's Hall or anywhere around Oxted, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic is the nearest hospital to Oxted, about 0.6 miles north.

FAQs for Oxted
Can you come to Oxted after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Oxted needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Oxted?
Kitchens in Oxted are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Why deal with it now?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Oxted as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Everything the job in Oxted needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
