TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Blindley Heath
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Blindley Heath? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Blindley Heath
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have grease drips onto cooking equipment and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help. When a restaurant in Blindley Heath asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a small place like Blindley Heath, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When to call us in Blindley Heath
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Blindley Heath is Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic, about 4.8 miles north-east.

Advice
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Blindley Heath kitchens: local notes
Blindley Heath is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Tandridge council inspect food businesses in Blindley Heath. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Evanglist, or anywhere in Blindley Heath, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions from Blindley Heath
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Blindley Heath?
That is Tandridge council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Blindley Heath. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you cover smaller places like Blindley Heath?
Yes, Blindley Heath is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
