How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Elstead
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Elstead give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have rancid smells from grease in the duct and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can help. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Elstead: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Elstead gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A planned visit to Elstead fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Elstead
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 3.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Elstead
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What we do, step by step
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. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Elstead can normally be finished without a second trip.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Elstead: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Elstead?
Food hygiene inspections in Elstead are carried out by Waverley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Elstead?
Yes, Elstead is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.

What else we do in Elstead
Kitchen extract cleaning around Elstead
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Elstead. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Elstead is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Elstead. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Elstead, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Wanborough Manor is about 3.7 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
