Hersham kitchen extract cleaning

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Hersham
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Common call-outs are for grease smells coming from the extract and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. Most calls from Hersham come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Most kitchens in Hersham fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Kitchens around a place like Hersham are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in Hersham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hersham?
The local authority for Hersham is Elmbridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Hersham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Hersham does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Why act early in Hersham
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Hersham as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Around Hersham, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hersham
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 14 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hersham. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Hersham falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Hersham are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Bell Farm Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Hersham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
