Kitchen extract cleaning in Capel, Surrey
We cover Capel for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Capel
Any kitchen we clean in Capel gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you’re dealing with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can put it right, from extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Capel? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
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.
In a village or hamlet like Capel, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

For landlords and multi-site operators

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 are happy to quote for all of it.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Advice
Why act early in Capel
An overdue clean in Capel is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Common questions in Capel
Which environmental health team covers Capel?
In Capel, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will you come out to Capel?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Capel included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
