How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Peaslake
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Typical jobs include an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and missing paperwork after a change of operator, on extract fans, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. When a restaurant in Peaslake asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a village or hamlet like Peaslake, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. 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. A planned visit to Peaslake is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- We diagnose before we treat

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Peaslake
Do you work overnight in Peaslake?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Peaslake out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Peaslake. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
You leave with a 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 is not missed.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Peaslake
Peaslake is about 26 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Peaslake, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Luke’s Hospital (about 5.8 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chilworth Manor is about 4.2 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Peaslake is about 6 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Peaslake and the rest of Surrey. Peaslake is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. We also work in Guildford, around 7 miles away.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Peaslake
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mark or anywhere around Peaslake, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Peaslake, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
