How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Fernhurst
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. Common call-outs are for a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, on plenums and filters, extract fans and vertical risers. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Fernhurst: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Fernhurst, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Fernhurst.
- You send pictures 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Common problems we fix in Fernhurst
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Fernhurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Fernhurst questions
Who inspects food businesses in Fernhurst?
Food hygiene inspections in Fernhurst are carried out by Chichester council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire authority looks after Fernhurst?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Do you work in Fernhurst?
Yes. We work in Fernhurst and across Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Fernhurst: the local picture
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Fernhurst, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fernhurst. 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. Fernhurst sits within the area of 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.
Historic houses near Fernhurst, such as Cowdray House about 4.3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fernhurst Primary School or anywhere near Fernhurst, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
