Surrey · Kitchen extract cleaning
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Old Malden
Kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites in Old Malden and across Surrey. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Old Malden, done properly
Across Old Malden, 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 are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can help. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Old Malden covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a smaller place like Old Malden, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Old Malden kitchens: local notes
Look up Old Malden on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 102 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 61 sandwich bars and takeaways across Old Malden and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s Epsom and Ewell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Malden. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Old Malden is covered by 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Knollmead Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tolworth Hospital (about 0.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we are called out for in Old Malden
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
For kitchens close to Tolworth station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the figure could change on the day
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a place like Old Malden are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. When a site near Old Malden shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long will the clean take?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Do you work in Old Malden?
Yes. Old Malden is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
