Kitchen extract cleaning near Friday Street

Kitchen extract cleaning in Friday Street, done properly

We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help, from vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and extract fans onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.

The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Friday Street goes.

In a village or hamlet like Friday Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

How the visit works

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Friday Street can be planned properly.

  1. We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
  3. On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Getting a quote

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

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.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.

When it’s something else

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
  • Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
  • Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work

  • Discharge points
  • Canopies and hoods
  • Plenums and filters
  • Extract fans
  • Vertical risers
  • Horizontal duct runs

Looking after it afterwards

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
  • Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
  • Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works

The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.

Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

What affects the quote in Friday Street

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • The times the site is available
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Travel, parking and unloading

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Common questions in Friday Street

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Friday Street?

That’s Mole Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Friday Street. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

Can you get to a site in Friday Street?

Yes, Friday Street is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.

Can you price the work without visiting?

Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.

How far ahead should we book?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

What we’re called out for in Friday Street

How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.

What we’re most often called out for:

  • A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
  • Fat running down the canopy edge
  • Stale cooking odours from the system
  • Missing paperwork after a change of operator

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Polesden Lacey is about 4.2 miles north), access may need planning.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
