TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Betchworth
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about a kitchen taken over without any extract records and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Betchworth covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Betchworth covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Betchworth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Betchworth

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Betchworth
Look up Betchworth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Betchworth. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Betchworth is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Betchworth get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A kitchen near Betchworth station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Bursars and site managers at schools such as North Downs Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Betchworth questions
Can you work in Betchworth outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Betchworth?
Yes. Betchworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Betchworth?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When to call us in Betchworth
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Betchworth, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
A hospital like Headley Court, about 3.6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Betchworth.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
