Kitchen extract cleaning in Horsell

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 grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. We are often asked to deal with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, on extract fans, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.

Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.

In a smaller place like Horsell, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Around Horsell, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.

  1. Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
  2. Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
  3. We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
  4. The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

FAQs for Horsell

Which fire authority looks after Horsell?

It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Horsell. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

Can you work in Horsell outside opening hours?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Horsell needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Horsell?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

What do I get after the clean?

Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

Aftercare tips

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
  • Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Do not let the canopy gutters overflow

We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.

Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

There are about 76 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 33 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Horsell, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. In Horsell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Woking council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Horsell is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • An undersized canopy or fan
  • A fan motor that has burnt out
  • A grease trap that needs emptying

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Where we work

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

When to call us in Horsell

Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.

Look out for these warning signs:

  • Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
  • Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
  • Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
  • Missing paperwork after a change of operator

For kitchens close to Woking station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
