The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Hurtmore, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Kitchen duct cleaning in Hurtmore
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the canopy edge and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Hurtmore? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a small place like Hurtmore, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Hurtmore questions
Do you work in villages like Hurtmore?
Yes. Hurtmore is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Hurtmore be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hurtmore does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hurtmore
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hurtmore
Look up Hurtmore on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 30 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hurtmore. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. In Hurtmore, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Guildford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Hurtmore falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Hurtmore, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Loseley Park is about 1.5 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the baffle filters clean
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hurtmore
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Hurtmore
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
For schools such as Charterhouse School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry

Why act early in Hurtmore
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. If the system at a site near Hurtmore fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
