Kitchen extract cleaning in Pixham
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Pixham give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can put it right, from vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans onwards. When a restaurant in Pixham asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Pixham goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Pixham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Pixham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Pixham is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Pixham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Common questions in Pixham
Can the work in Pixham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Pixham keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pixham?
The local authority for Pixham is Mole Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Pixham: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 57 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pixham. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Pixham 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. Kitchens in Pixham get their food hygiene inspections from Mole Valley council. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Ashcombe School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a café or takeaway near Dorking station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

In Pixham, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Headley Court is the nearest hospital to Pixham, about 4 miles north-east.
