Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Fernhill
Any kitchen we clean in Fernhill gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you’re dealing with rancid smells from grease in the duct and poor airflow at the canopy, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and canopies and hoods onwards. Kitchens in Fernhill book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Fernhill goes well beyond the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Fernhill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Grease, kitchens and Fernhill
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in Fernhill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Crawley council inspect food businesses in Fernhill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fernhill 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Fernhill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Oakwood School or anywhere near Fernhill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
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.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fernhill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Fernhill questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Fernhill?
Fire safety enforcement in Fernhill is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Fernhill?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Fernhill can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What we’re called out for in Fernhill
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. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Stale cooking odours from the system
A hospital like Langley Green Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What a clean will not put right
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Visits to a village like Fernhill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
