Kitchen extract cleaning across Grayshott

Kitchen duct cleaning in Grayshott

Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Grayshott, typically within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Surrey.

We clean every reachable part of the system in Grayshott: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.

Kitchens around a place like Grayshott are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Grayshott

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Between visits

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
  • Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
  • Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
  • Never cook with filters missing or out of place

If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.

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.

Common questions in Grayshott

Will you come out to Grayshott?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

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

Kitchens in Grayshott are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

How long will the clean take?

That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.

How do you protect the area?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?

The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.

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.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

When to call us in Grayshott

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. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.

The symptoms we’re asked about most are:

  • An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
  • Grease smells coming from the extract
  • An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
  • A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction

For schools such as Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Questions to ask before booking

  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What affects the quote in Grayshott

You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The size of the system
  • The condition we find in the survey

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

What we need to know

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Grayshott, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.

What we do, step by step

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Grayshott when you book.

  1. We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
  3. On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
  4. We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
  5. Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What the work involves, part by part

Grease filters

Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.

Extract fan and discharge

Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
