About our kitchen extract cleaning in Longcross
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Longcross, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you’re dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can help, from plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Surrey.
A clean in Longcross covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like Longcross, 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. 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. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

- Trading since 2009

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Longcross can be planned properly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Kitchen extracts in Longcross
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Longcross, 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. Kitchens in Longcross get their food hygiene inspections from Runnymede council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Longcross is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Longcross is St. Peter's Hospital, about 2.6 miles east. Botleys Mansion, about 2.3 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Longcross; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Longcross Church, or anywhere in Longcross, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Longcross
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What else we do in Longcross
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
FAQs for Longcross
Can the work in Longcross be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Longcross needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Longcross?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Longcross. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
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.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
