Rowledge kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites in Rowledge and across Surrey. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Rowledge.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Rowledge
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Rowledge, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, on discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Rowledge, you get one team and one number for every site.
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.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Rowledge
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Rowledge. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Rowledge sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Rowledge. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint James, or anywhere in Rowledge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Farnham Castle, about 2.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Rowledge; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rowledge
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
What affects the quote in Rowledge
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
FAQs for Rowledge
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rowledge?
Food hygiene inspections in Rowledge are carried out by Waverley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work in Rowledge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Rowledge can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. 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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we are called out for in Rowledge
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Rowledge is Chase Community Hospital, about 5.6 miles south.
