How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Brewer Street
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Brewer Street give you that record for the maintenance log. Common call-outs are for a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and missing paperwork after a change of operator, on canopies and hoods, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Brewer Street, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Brewer Street goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we’re called out for in Brewer Street
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Brewer Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Grease, kitchens and Brewer Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brewer Street. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. In Brewer Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Brewer Street is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bletchingley Village Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Caterham Dene Hospital (about 2.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Brewer Street is about 2 miles south of Caterham, in Surrey. From the centre of Brewer Street to the outskirts, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. We cover 395 places across Surrey, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our London page covers sites nearby, about 17 miles away.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Brewer Street run smoothly.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Questions from Brewer Street
Can you come to Brewer Street after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Brewer Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brewer Street?
That’s Tandridge council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Brewer Street. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is 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.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
