Kitchen duct cleaning in Shillinglee
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Shillinglee covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Shillinglee covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. It’s simpler to plan the work at Shillinglee now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Shillinglee
Shillinglee sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Shillinglee. 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shillinglee, about 3.8 miles west.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
What we’re called out for in Shillinglee
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Whether the kitchen is in Shillinglee itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

Shillinglee questions
Which fire service covers Shillinglee?
Shillinglee is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which environmental health team covers Shillinglee?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shillinglee. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shillinglee
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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 the report can go to both.
