We’re often asked to deal with rancid smells from grease in the duct and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, across horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Stoke D'Abernon it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a small place like Stoke D'Abernon, 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.

Stoke D'Abernon kitchens: local notes

Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. The fire and rescue service for Stoke D'Abernon is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Stoke D'Abernon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Elmbridge council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Epsom Cottage Hospital, about 3.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you cook for passing trade around Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stoke D'Abernon
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A planned visit to Stoke D'Abernon is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Stoke D'Abernon
Is Stoke D'Abernon within the area you cover?
Yes. Stoke D'Abernon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stoke D'Abernon?
Kitchens in Stoke D'Abernon are inspected by Elmbridge council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
When to call us in Stoke D'Abernon
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Fat running down the canopy edge
School kitchens, at schools like Parkside School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a survey comes first
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Visits to a village like Stoke D'Abernon are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
