Kitchen duct cleaning in Mytchett
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 Mytchett give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include grease drips onto cooking equipment and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on discharge points, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. When a restaurant in Mytchett asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a smaller place like Mytchett, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a site near Mytchett, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Mytchett
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Look out for any of the following:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mytchett Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Questions from Mytchett
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Mytchett during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Mytchett, the Food Standards Agency lists about 17 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Mytchett?
That is Surrey Heath council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Mytchett. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you cover Mytchett?
Yes. We work in Mytchett and across Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do I get 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.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Mytchett kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 20 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Mytchett and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Mytchett falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Mytchett get their food hygiene inspections from Surrey Heath council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Mytchett, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Wanborough Manor is about 4.9 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
