Kitchen extracts in Surbiton
The FSA’s data shows about 65 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 11 hotels and B&Bs registered across Surbiton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Surbiton get their food hygiene inspections from Kingston-Upon-Thames council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Surbiton is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you cook for passing trade around Surbiton station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tolworth Hospital (about 1 mile south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Surbiton
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. If you’re dealing with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can help, from extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Surbiton it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in Surbiton covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Kitchens in Surbiton, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.

When to call us in Surbiton
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mark's Church, or anywhere in Surbiton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include

- If they look at the system before pricing
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Surbiton
Can school kitchens in Surbiton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 37 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Surbiton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Surbiton?
Kitchens in Surbiton are inspected by Kingston-Upon-Thames council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Surbiton saves time on the night.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
