How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Irons Bottom
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Irons Bottom give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Irons Bottom, you get one team and one number for every site.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 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.
In a small place like Irons Bottom, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Irons Bottom.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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.
Advice
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in Irons Bottom is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Irons Bottom
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Poor airflow at the canopy
For schools such as Burys Court School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Irons Bottom: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Irons Bottom, up to about a mile and a half out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Food hygiene inspections in Irons Bottom are the job of Reigate and Banstead council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Irons Bottom is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Irons Bottom is East Surrey Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Emmanuel Church, or anywhere in Irons Bottom, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Irons Bottom
Can the work in Irons Bottom be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Irons Bottom?
In Irons Bottom, it’s Reigate and Banstead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
