TR19 commercial kitchen cleaning in Ashtead.
TR19® cleaning for Ashtead kitchens, ventilation and ductwork — grease cleared back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer needs.
Your local Ashtead duct cleaning team
Ashtead is a leafy village between Epsom and Leatherhead — the restaurants and cafés along The Street, the country pubs, and the school and care-home kitchens across the village. Each kitchen runs an extract system that fills with grease.
We clean and certify those systems to BESA TR19® standards across Ashtead and the surrounding villages, 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 Ashtead 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 Ashtead 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.

4-Star Hotel Kitchen
The challenge. A 4-star hotel with high-volume daily service had accumulated grease across extraction systems.
What we did. We scheduled overnight work, cleaned all equipment to bare metal, provided comprehensive documentation.
The result. Improved food safety inspections, full TR19® certification, insurance cover reconfirmed. Monthly checks.

Serving Ashtead & the surrounding area
We know Ashtead
Ashtead is a leafy village between Epsom and Leatherhead, known for Ashtead Common — a National Trust expanse of ancient pollarded oaks that also hides the buried remains of a Roman villa and tile works. The Street runs through the heart of the village.
Those village restaurant and pub kitchens, and the school and care-home canteens across KT21, are where we clean and certify extract systems — so wherever your Ashtead kitchen sits, we already know the area.
