What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Penton Hook
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for missing paperwork after a change of operator and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, across plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Penton Hook starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Penton Hook: your questions answered
Is Penton Hook within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Penton Hook included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Penton Hook?
The local authority for Penton Hook is Spelthorne council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
You leave with a 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 isn’t missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

Why act early in Penton Hook

It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Penton Hook rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What affects the quote in Penton Hook
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Discharge points

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Penton Hook, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
