Kitchen duct cleaning in Reigate
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 a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and people most often call us about heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Reigate covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Reigate, losing a day’s trade to cleaning is not an option, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Reigate questions
Can you work in Reigate outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Reigate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Reigate during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 15 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Reigate. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking 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
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a town like Reigate, we typically work after closing or on a quiet day, so the site opens again on time.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
If your kitchen in Reigate is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Each month of use adds to the build-up, so a site in Reigate is better off booking it now.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Reigate
The Food Standards Agency lists about 28 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Reigate. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council inspect food businesses in Reigate. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Reigate 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near Reigate station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or anywhere around Reigate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Reigate Priory Community Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Reigate is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. Whether your site is in the middle of Reigate or further out, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. 395 places in Surrey are on our list, large and small. There’s also a page for Guildford, roughly 16 miles from Reigate.
Work in RH2 and RH1 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Reigate
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
