Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Stoughton
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Stoughton? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stoughton
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you are dealing with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Stoughton asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Stoughton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Stoughton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 34 pubs, bars and clubs across Stoughton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Stoughton are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Stoughton 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Emmanuel Church or elsewhere in Stoughton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Guildford Castle is about 1.7 miles south-east), access may need planning.
Stoughton is about 1 mile north-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Across the GU2 area, we can carry out kitchen extract cleaning at your premises. Stoughton is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for kitchen extract cleaning.
All of GU2, GU3 and GU1 is covered for kitchen extract cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether your site is on Keens Lane, Manor Road and South Road or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work.

Landmarks near Stoughton
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Chitty's Common, Wooden Bridge pub and Rydes Hill Preparatory School. Stoughton’s nearest station is Guildford station, roughly 1.4 miles south-east. Nearby you’ll also find Guildford Castle (1.7 miles south-east) and Guildford Hospital (1.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Littlefield Common and Pewley Hill.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A site near Stoughton normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
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’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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 on a regular cycle.
