About our kitchen extract cleaning in Runfold
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Runfold, typically within one working day. If you have fat running down the canopy edge and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can put it right, from extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Runfold usually mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Runfold, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Runfold, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Questions from Runfold
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Runfold out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Runfold, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Runfold?
Food hygiene inspections in Runfold are carried out by Guildford council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Runfold: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Runfold. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Runfold. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Runfold. 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 church or community hall kitchen, near The Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Runfold, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like South Farnham School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Farnham Castle is about 2.2 miles west), access may need planning.

When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
