TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Fetcham
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you are dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can put it right, from discharge points, plenums and filters and extract fans onwards. When a restaurant in Fetcham asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Fetcham goes.
Around a smaller place like Fetcham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Fetcham
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

Common questions in Fetcham
Do you work in villages like Fetcham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fetcham is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire service covers Fetcham?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Fetcham. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What happens if it’s left?
If your kitchen in Fetcham is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A planned visit to Fetcham fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Fetcham: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in and around Fetcham, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fetcham is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Fetcham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Oakfield Junior School or anywhere near Fetcham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Headley Court (about 3.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a smaller place like Fetcham, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
When to call us in Fetcham
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. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Polesden Lacey, about 2.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Fetcham; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
