Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Russ Hill
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Typical jobs include a system with no record of a TR19 clean and poor airflow at the canopy, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and discharge points. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Russ Hill 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 the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a small place like Russ Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Questions from Russ Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Russ Hill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Russ Hill is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Russ Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Russ Hill are carried out by Mole Valley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Russ Hill
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
For kitchen extract cleaning in Russ Hill, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
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.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

Other services in Russ Hill
What we’re called out for in Russ Hill
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Russ Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Grease, kitchens and Russ Hill
The FSA’s data shows about 4 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Russ Hill. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Russ Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Russ Hill. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Charlwood Village Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Langley Green Hospital about 2.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why act early in Russ Hill
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Russ Hill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
