About our kitchen extract cleaning in Westcott
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Westcott, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters. Kitchens in Westcott book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like Westcott, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Westcott kitchens: local notes
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Westcott and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, 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. Westcott sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Westcott get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John's Community Hall or elsewhere in Westcott, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 2.2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Westcott is about 2 miles west of Dorking, in Surrey. Westcott gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Westcott is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 9 miles away.

Why it’s worth doing now in Westcott
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A fault that closes a site in a village like Westcott affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Westcott?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Westcott: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Westcott?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Westcott. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you cover smaller places like Westcott?
Yes. Westcott is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
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.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Westcott.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
