TR19 commercial kitchen cleaning in Dorking.
TR19® cleaning for Dorking kitchens, ventilation and ductwork — grease cleared back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer needs.
Your local Dorking duct cleaning team
Dorking is a market town in the heart of the Surrey Hills — the cafés and restaurants along the High Street and the West Street antiques quarter, the hospitality kitchens at Denbies Wine Estate, and the country pubs across Westcott, Brockham and Betchworth. Each kitchen runs an extract system that fills with grease.
We clean and certify those systems to BESA TR19® standards across Dorking 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 Dorking 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 Dorking 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.

Serving Dorking & the surrounding area
We know Dorking
Dorking sits beneath Box Hill and Leith Hill in the Surrey Hills, with West Street known across the county for its antiques shops. On its doorstep is Denbies Wine Estate, the largest vineyard in the UK, and the town is famous for the Dorking chicken — commemorated by the giant cockerel sculpture on the Deepdene roundabout.
Those High Street and Denbies kitchens, and the country pubs across the surrounding villages, are where we clean and certify extract systems — so wherever your Dorking kitchen sits, we already know the area.
