Kitchen extract cleaning in Jacobs Well
Across Jacobs Well, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you’re dealing with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Jacobs Well typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A planned visit to Jacobs Well is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Take a look at what affects the cost or our accreditations and certificates.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Jacobs Well
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Jacobs Well: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 11 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Jacobs Well. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Jacobs Well falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Jacobs Well. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Weyfield Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Jacobs Well, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Jacobs Well run smoothly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

- Find the previous report, if there is one

FAQs for Jacobs Well
Who is the fire and rescue service for Jacobs Well?

Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?

How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
