TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Earlswood
Across Earlswood, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. 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. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Earlswood, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Kitchens around a place like Earlswood are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Earlswood
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 45 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 21 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Earlswood. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Earlswood is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Reigate and Banstead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Earlswood. 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 cook for passing trade around Earlswood (Surrey) station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like East Surrey Hospital about 0.7 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Earlswood
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
School kitchens, at schools like St John's Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. 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. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
FAQs for Earlswood
Which fire service covers Earlswood?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Earlswood. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can a school canteen extract in Earlswood be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 13 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Earlswood. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a place like Earlswood, we fit the visit around your hours.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
