Kitchen duct cleaning in Rowly
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. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about a system with no record of a TR19 clean and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Rowly?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Glebelands School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Rowly, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Grease, kitchens and Rowly
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways in Rowly and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. In Rowly, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Rowly is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Chilworth Manor is about 4.3 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 5.2 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Rowly is about 7 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. From the centre of Rowly to the outskirts, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Rowly is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for kitchen extract cleaning. For sites nearby, see our Guildford page (7 miles or so).
Here we cover the GU6 and GU5 postcode area for kitchen extract cleaning. Whether your site is on Guildford Road, Strathavon Close and Smithwood Avenue or anywhere close by, we can help. If your site is just outside Rowly, we cover Stroud Common (1 mile north), Elmbridge Village (1 mile south), Grafham (2 miles west), Shamley Green (2 miles north-west) and Birtley Green (2 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Guildford (7 miles north-west), Woking (11 miles north), Camberley (15 miles north-west), Horley (15 miles east), Farnham (13 miles west) and Reigate (14 miles east).
Near you in Rowly
Around Rowly, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Cucknell's Wood. The nearest railway station is Chilworth station, about 3.9 miles north. A little further out are Milford Hospital (5.2 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Lower Lake and St Martha's Hill and Colyer's Hanger.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Rowly questions
Can a school canteen extract in Rowly be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Rowly. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after Rowly?
Fire safety enforcement in Rowly is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Rowly?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Why act early in Rowly
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Rowly rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
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.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
