Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

Kitchen extract cleaning in Stonehill, done properly
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or 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. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about grease smells coming from the extract and poor airflow at the canopy. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Stonehill it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Most kitchens in Stonehill fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Stonehill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Somewhere as small as Stonehill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

What staff can safely do
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, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stonehill?
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St. Peter's Hospital about 1.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Common questions in Stonehill
Do you work in villages like Stonehill?
Yes, Stonehill is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stonehill?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Grease, kitchens and Stonehill
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Stonehill, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Stonehill sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from Runnymede council inspect food businesses in Stonehill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Stonehill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stonehill (Botleys Mansion is about 1.4 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
