Kitchen extract cleaning around Tilford Common
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars across Tilford Common and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Tilford Common are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Tilford Common 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Tilford Common, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Tilford Common
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease smells coming from the extract. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Tilford Common, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Surrey.
Most kitchens in Tilford Common fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Tilford Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tilford Common?
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. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Bursars and site managers at schools such as All Saints CofE Aided Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Tilford Common: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tilford Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tilford Common is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Tilford Common?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tilford Common. 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 if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
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.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tilford Common
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. With notice, the visit to Tilford Common can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, which is where we come in.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Tilford Common, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
