TR19 commercial kitchen cleaning in Guildford.
TR19® cleaning for Guildford kitchens, ventilation and ductwork — grease cleared back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer needs.
Your local Guildford duct cleaning team
Guildford is Surrey’s county town and its busiest dining destination — the cobbled High Street and Tunsgate, the riverside restaurants along the Wey, the bars around Friary Street, and the canteens at the University of Surrey and the A3 business parks. Every commercial kitchen among them runs an extract system that fills with grease.
We clean and certify those systems to BESA TR19® standards across Guildford and the surrounding villages, back to bare metal, with the hygiene certificate and photo report your insurer and fire officer expect. A local Guildford visit, backed by the standards we apply on every site nationwide.

Cleaning frequency for Guildford 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 Guildford 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 Guildford & the surrounding area
We know Guildford
Guildford is Surrey’s county town, set on a steep cobbled High Street beneath the modern red-brick Guildford Cathedral on Stag Hill and the 12th-century Guildford Castle keep. The River Wey runs through the centre, and the Guildhall clock has overhung the High Street since the 1680s.
Those High Street and riverside kitchens, and the canteens out toward the University and the A3 business parks, are where we clean and certify extract systems — so wherever your Guildford kitchen sits, we already know the area.
