Kitchen extract cleaning across Hatchford End

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Hatchford End

Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Hatchford End, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, across plenums and filters, extract fans and vertical risers. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Hatchford End covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.

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 Hatchford End goes.

In a village or hamlet like Hatchford End, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Keeping the system healthy

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:

  • Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
  • Book the next clean before the date on the report
  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
  • Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking

We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.

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.

What a clean won’t put right

Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:

  • A grease trap that needs emptying
  • A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

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

When to call us in Hatchford End

We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
  • Missing paperwork after a change of operator
  • An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
  • Rancid smells from grease in the duct

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Byfleet Manor is about 1.7 miles north-west), access may need planning.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Questions from Hatchford End

Who inspects food businesses in Hatchford End?

Kitchens in Hatchford End are inspected by Elmbridge 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 cover smaller places like Hatchford End?

Yes. Hatchford End is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

What about areas you cannot get to?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

What does TR19 mean?

A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What the work involves, part by part

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.

Canopy and plenum

Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.

What affects the quote in Hatchford End

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • A single visit or a regular plan

What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Asking for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

The process

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hatchford End.

  1. We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
  3. The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
