How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Kingsley Green

Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you’re dealing with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right, from extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Kingsley Green it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.

The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Kingsley Green goes.

For a kitchen in or near Kingsley Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

How the job changes from site to site

Ductwork and risers

Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.

Grease filters

A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Kingsley Green: the local picture

Look up Kingsley Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Kingsley Green, 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. The fire and rescue service for Kingsley Green is 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. In Kingsley Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Kingsley Green, about 2.1 miles north. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Margaret or anywhere around Kingsley Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What happens on the day

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Kingsley Green can be planned properly.

  1. Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
  4. The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Preparing for the visit

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What happens if it’s left?

Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Kingsley Green as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

When to call us in Kingsley Green

We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An extract that no longer clears the smoke
  • A kitchen taken over without any extract records
  • Rancid smells from grease in the duct
  • A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate

For schools such as Fernhurst Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Before booking anyone

  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Whether VAT is included
  • When the next visit should be, and why

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Keeping the system healthy

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Refit filters properly after cleaning
  • Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
  • Book the next clean before the date on the report
  • Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly

When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Kingsley Green

Is Kingsley Green within the area you cover?

Yes, Kingsley Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Who inspects food businesses in Kingsley Green?

Food hygiene inspections in Kingsley Green are carried out by Chichester council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.

What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?

The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.

Is a quote from photos possible?

Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.

Does the law say I must clean to TR19?

The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
