About our kitchen extract cleaning in Byfleet
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Byfleet, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Byfleet usually mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a smaller kitchen near Byfleet, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Questions from Byfleet
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Byfleet?
The local authority for Byfleet is Woking council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work in villages like Byfleet?
Yes. Byfleet is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
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 pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep grease collection points emptied
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. 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. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Byfleet when you book.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Common problems we fix in Byfleet
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Runnymede Hospital (about 3.5 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Byfleet
There are about 27 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 takeaways in Byfleet and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Byfleet 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. Food hygiene inspections in Byfleet are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Byfleet, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mary's CofE Controlled Primary School or anywhere near Byfleet, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
