Kitchen extract cleaning in Paynes Green, done properly
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you are dealing with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Paynes Green it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
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 readings afterwards go into your report.
In a village or hamlet like Paynes Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Paynes Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Paynes Green
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Around Paynes Green, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Paynes Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Paynes Green?
The local authority for Paynes Green is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Paynes Green?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Paynes Green. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you work in Paynes Green?
Yes. We cover Paynes Green and the rest of Surrey, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Paynes Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
