Shottermill kitchen extract cleaning
Specialist kitchen extract cleaning for Shottermill: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep grease collection points emptied
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shottermill
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Shottermill, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you are dealing with grease smells coming from the extract and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Shottermill start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Around a smaller place like Shottermill, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Around Shottermill, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Why act early in Shottermill
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Shottermill than wait for a failure.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Shottermill
Look up Shottermill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops across Shottermill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Shottermill 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. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shottermill. 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.
For schools such as Camelsdale Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital, about 1.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Commuter trade near Haslemere station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Shottermill questions
Do you work at weekends in Shottermill?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Shottermill keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shottermill?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Shottermill. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
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 have been trading since 2009.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
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.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
