Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stoneleigh
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you’re dealing with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Stoneleigh, you get one team and one number for every site.
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 smaller place like Stoneleigh, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A planned visit to Stoneleigh fits your hours; an emergency does not.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Grease, kitchens and Stoneleigh
There are about 122 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 57 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stoneleigh, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Food hygiene inspections in Stoneleigh are the job of Epsom and Ewell council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Stoneleigh. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Ebba's Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Auriol Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Stoneleigh is about 1 mile north-east of Ewell, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Stoneleigh, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Stoneleigh is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. There’s also a page for London, roughly 11 miles from Stoneleigh.

Local landmarks in Stoneleigh
Typical jobs here are in premises near Hogsmill LNR, The Station pub and Ewell Castle School. There’s a railway station in Stoneleigh itself: Stoneleigh station. Well-known places in the area include Cockney Museum (within half a mile south-east) and Chessington Castle Hill (1.9 miles west).

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together 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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a smaller place like Stoneleigh, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Stoneleigh
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Stoneleigh, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Questions from Stoneleigh
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stoneleigh?
That’s Epsom and Ewell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stoneleigh. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Stoneleigh during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 25 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stoneleigh. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
