TR19 commercial kitchen cleaning in Ashford.
TR19® cleaning for Ashford kitchens, ventilation and ductwork — grease cleared back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer needs.
Your local Ashford duct cleaning team
Ashford — the Surrey town near Staines — sits in the Heathrow corridor — the High Street and retail restaurants, the airport-area hotel and office canteens, and the hospital and care homes across Stanwell and Ashford Common. Each kitchen runs an extract system that fills with grease.
We clean and certify those systems to BESA TR19® standards across Ashford and the surrounding area, back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer and fire officer expect.

Cleaner, cheaper air
Clears odours, improves airflow and helps fans and AHUs run efficiently — lowering energy use.
Cleaning frequency for Ashford kitchens
BESA TR19® sets intervals by how many hours a day your kitchen runs — the same intervals insurers and fire officers use.
Every 3 months
Heavy use — 12 to 16 hours a day. Busy restaurants, hotels and takeaways.
Every 6 months
Moderate use — 6 to 12 hours a day. Pubs, cafes and canteens.
Every 12 months
Light use — 2 to 6 hours a day. Offices, small kitchens and clubs.

Transparent, fixed pricing
Most Ashford jobs start from £300–£500. Larger or more complex sites — hotels, hospitals, schools and high-rise blocks — typically run from £1,000 to £3,000+.
The price depends on duct length, how much grease has built up, and how accessible the system is. We survey first (or review your schematics) and give a fixed, no-surprises quote that includes full documentation. It is always cheaper than a fire, a fine, or a rejected insurance claim.

Recent Ashford TW15 project
School Catering Kitchen
The challenge. A large secondary school serving 800+ pupils daily had accumulated grease flagged in safety review.
What we did. We coordinated during half-term holidays, cleaned thoroughly, provided full compliance documentation.
The result. School passed environmental health inspection, now compliant for audits. Quarterly maintenance scheduled.

Those High Street and corridor kitchens, and the hotel, office and care-home canteens across TW15, are where we clean and certify extract systems — so wherever your Ashford kitchen sits, we already know the area.
