Kitchen extract cleaning in Horton, Surrey

- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Horton is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us

- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Horton
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. Common call-outs are for stale cooking odours from the system and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. When a restaurant in Horton asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in Horton fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as Horton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Horton
There are about 68 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 27 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Horton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Horton are the job of Epsom and Ewell council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Horton 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near Chessington South station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. For schools such as St Mary's CofE (Aided) Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Horton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Horton
Do you work in villages like Horton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Horton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Horton can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Horton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
