TR19 commercial kitchen cleaning in Leatherhead.
TR19® cleaning for Leatherhead kitchens, ventilation and ductwork — grease cleared back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer needs.
Your local Leatherhead duct cleaning team
Leatherhead sits on the River Mole at the gateway to the Surrey Hills — the High Street and Swan Centre restaurants, the riverside pubs, the business-park and office canteens off the M25, and care homes across Fetcham and Ashtead. Each kitchen runs an extract system that fills with grease.
We clean and certify those systems to BESA TR19® standards across Leatherhead and the surrounding villages, back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer and fire officer expect.

One Leatherhead visit, several problems solved
Fire safety

Insurance & law

Cleaner, cheaper air
Clears odours, improves airflow and helps fans and AHUs run efficiently — lowering energy use.
Cleaning frequency for Leatherhead 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.
Every kind of Leatherhead kitchen & building
Restaurants & pubs
Cleaned overnight, never lose a service.
Hotels
Multi-floor riser ductwork & extract.
Schools & nurseries
Cleaned in holidays. DBS-checked technicians.
Care homes & healthcare
HTM 03-01 aware, infection-control friendly.
Offices & retail
Ventilation & AHU hygiene cleaning.
High-rise & multi-storey
Vertical risers, working-at-height trained.
Transparent, fixed pricing
Most Leatherhead 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 Leatherhead & the surrounding area
We know Leatherhead
Leatherhead stands on the River Mole where the North Downs meet the Thames lowlands — the ‘Gateway to the Surrey Hills’, with Box Hill close by. The Leatherhead Theatre sits at the heart of the pedestrianised centre, and the town hosts the long-running Leatherhead Drama Festival.
Those High Street and riverside kitchens, and the business-park and care-home canteens across KT22, are where we clean and certify extract systems — so wherever your Leatherhead kitchen sits, we already know the area.
