TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Felcourt
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you are dealing with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right, from extract fans, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Felcourt? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a kitchen in or near Felcourt, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Felcourt before we set off.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Managing agents and facilities teams in Felcourt
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Felcourt
Food Standards Agency records list about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Felcourt. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. The fire and rescue service for Felcourt is West Sussex 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. Kitchens in Felcourt get their food hygiene inspections from Tandridge council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Felcourt rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

Questions from Felcourt
Can school kitchens in Felcourt be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Felcourt, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Felcourt?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Felcourt needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Common problems we fix in Felcourt
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Victoria Hospital (about 1.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a survey comes first
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
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 ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
