Kitchen extract cleaning in Hamsey Green, done properly
Any kitchen we clean in Hamsey Green gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Hamsey Green covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a village or hamlet like Hamsey Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in Hamsey Green
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hamsey Green run smoothly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Kitchen extracts in Hamsey Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 43 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hamsey Green. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Food hygiene inspections in Hamsey Green are the job of Croydon council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Hamsey Green falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Addington Palace is about 2.8 miles north), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Antony, or anywhere in Hamsey Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Hamsey Green is about 1 mile north of Warlingham, in Surrey. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Hamsey Green and the rest of Surrey. 395 places in Surrey are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. London is in our area too, about 13 miles from Hamsey Green.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
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.
What affects the quote in Hamsey Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
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.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Hamsey Green: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Hamsey Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hamsey Green out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hamsey Green. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
When to call us in Hamsey Green
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Warlingham Park Hospital about 1.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
