TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Farncombe
Kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Farncombe. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Farncombe
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. When a restaurant in Farncombe asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in Farncombe fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a smaller place like Farncombe, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Farncombe
Can you come to Farncombe after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Farncombe needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Farncombe out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Farncombe. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Is there a survey before the work?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Farncombe
There are about 33 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Farncombe, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. The fire and rescue service for Farncombe is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Farncombe are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 2.2 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Farncombe Church of England Infant School or anywhere near Farncombe, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Farncombe station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Why act early in Farncombe
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Farncombe as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Farncombe, so let us know how to reach it.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
