Kitchen extract cleaning in GU26: how it works
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. 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 extra access panels can be added. Typical jobs include a system with no record of a TR19 clean and fat running down the canopy edge, on horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and extract fans.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- 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.
- 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.
What you will pay
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

- One number for every site across the South East and London
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What’s near Grayshott
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around St Edmund's School, Church of St Luke and Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School. You’ll also find Woolmer Hill School (1.3 miles south) and The Fox & Pelican pub (within half a mile south-east). The nearest railway station is Haslemere station, roughly 2.2 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Haslemere and District Hospital (2.4 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Lynchmere Commons and Gibbet Hill.
Where we work in GU26
In GU26, we work in places such as Shottermill, Grayshott and Beacon Hill and well beyond. We cover every place we list for GU26, 8 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in GU26, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Grayshott: If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School or anywhere near Grayshott, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Grayshott, about 2.4 miles south-east.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why it fails
In GU26, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor that has burnt out
GU26 questions
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
