Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Kingswood, done properly
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Kingswood, normally within one working day. If you have a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Kingswood it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Kitchens around a place like Kingswood are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Everything the job in Kingswood needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
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, before any work starts.

When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
Why deal with it now?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Booking now means the visit to Kingswood is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Kingswood
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. 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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Tadworth Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Kitchen extracts in Kingswood
Food Standards Agency records include about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Kingswood and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Kingswood 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 Reigate and Banstead council inspect food businesses in Kingswood. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Kingswood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Commuter trade near Kingswood station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Common questions in Kingswood
Can you get to a site in Kingswood?
Yes, Kingswood is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Kingswood?
Kitchens in Kingswood are inspected by Reigate and Banstead council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
