Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Penny Pot
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can help. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Penny Pot? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a small place like Penny Pot, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Penny Pot kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 11 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Penny Pot. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Penny Pot are the job of Surrey Heath council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Penny Pot is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Penny Pot can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Penny Pot rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Take a look at what affects the cost and how to check a contractor.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we clear up before we go. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Penny Pot knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Penny Pot
In Penny Pot, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Historic houses near Penny Pot, such as Botleys Mansion about 4.4 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
