Kitchen extract cleaning across KT23: what to expect
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and poor airflow at the canopy.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning around KT23
Across KT23, from Great Bookham, Fetcham and Little Bookham outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across KT23 don’t have to lose a day.
Great Bookham: A kitchen near Bookham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicolas or elsewhere in Great Bookham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in KT23
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
