How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Chertsey
Any kitchen we clean in Chertsey gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and extract fans. Most calls from Chertsey come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Chertsey goes.
Around a smaller place like Chertsey, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Chertsey
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 72 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 16 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Chertsey. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. In Chertsey, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Chertsey. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Commuter trade near Chertsey station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Runnymede Hospital about 1 mile south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Chertsey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Near you in Chertsey
Around Chertsey, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Chertsey High School, Sir William Perkins's School and Woburn Park, among other places. There’s a railway station in Chertsey itself: Chertsey station. Well-known places in the area include Runnymede Hospital (1 mile south-west) and Spelthorne Museum (3.2 miles north). For a walk, there’s St Ann's Hill and Gracious Pond.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Other services in Chertsey
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Everything the job in Chertsey needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading

Chertsey questions
Who inspects food businesses in Chertsey?
That is Runnymede council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chertsey. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Chertsey?
Chertsey is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
