How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Woodham
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can help. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Woodham typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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 readings afterwards go into your report.
Kitchens around a place like Woodham are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Woodham questions
Can a school canteen extract in Woodham be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Woodham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 17 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire authority looks after Woodham?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Woodham. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
When do you clean the extract?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you do not lose a service.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Woodham
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 those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
A hospital like St. Peter's Hospital, about 2.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)

For landlords and multi-site operators
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we do, step by step
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 a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Woodham, not ours.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What affects the quote in Woodham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Woodham, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Woodham: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 11 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Woodham. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Woodham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Woking council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Woodham falls to 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.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Woodham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For kitchens close to West Byfleet station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
