Kitchen extract cleaning near Crowhurst Lane End

What your team can do, and what needs us

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Crowhurst Lane End

Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Crowhurst Lane End, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have fat running down the canopy edge and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, discharge points and plenums and filters onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Surrey.

Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.

Somewhere as small as Crowhurst Lane End, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.

We have 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.

When something else is needed

Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:

  • An undersized canopy or fan
  • A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
  • Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

Where we work

  • Vertical risers
  • Plenums and filters
  • Canopies and hoods
  • Extract fans
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Discharge points

The process

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The timing of a visit to Crowhurst Lane End is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
  2. We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
  3. With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
  4. We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Before we arrive

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use

How to get a quote

What happens if it’s left?

There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A planned visit to Crowhurst Lane End is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Grease, kitchens and Crowhurst Lane End

Crowhurst Lane End, about 20 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Crowhurst Lane End, 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. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Crowhurst Lane End: your questions answered

Who inspects food businesses in Crowhurst Lane End?

The local authority for Crowhurst Lane End is Tandridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

Which fire service covers Crowhurst Lane End?

Crowhurst Lane End is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

What information do you need?

Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What types of premises do you cover?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?

It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. 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.

Does the law say I must clean to TR19?

TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.

Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?

Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Refit filters properly after cleaning
  • Keep grease collection points emptied
  • Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
  • Switch the fan on before cooking starts

The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.

Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
