Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
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.

What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Green Cross
Look up Green Cross on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Green Cross. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Green Cross. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Green Cross falls to 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Green Cross, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like St John's CofE Aided Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Visits to a village like Green Cross are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Common problems we fix in Green Cross
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Green Cross, about 3.8 miles south-east.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
FAQs for Green Cross
Who inspects food businesses in Green Cross?
In Green Cross, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Green Cross within the area you cover?
Yes. Green Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Green Cross, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Green Cross
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. In a place like Green Cross, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
