TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Cuddington
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. We’re often asked to deal with fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points. Kitchens in Cuddington book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Cuddington: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Cuddington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cuddington.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning around Cuddington
Food Standards Agency records include about 14 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cuddington. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Cuddington sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Cuddington are the job of Sutton council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cuddington is St. Anthony's Hospital, about 1.6 miles north.

Questions from Cuddington
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Cuddington?
The local authority for Cuddington is Sutton council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can school kitchens in Cuddington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Cuddington. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How much notice do you need?
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.
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.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Cuddington?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Dunstan or anywhere around Cuddington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Proof of insurance
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
What affects the quote in Cuddington
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
