Kitchen extract cleaning in Sandhills
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 a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right. Most calls from Sandhills come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Sandhills goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Sandhills starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. In a small place like Sandhills, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Sandhills kitchens: local notes
At about 35 miles from central London, Sandhills sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Sandhills, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as King Edward's School Witley or anywhere near Sandhills, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you cook for passing trade around Witley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Sandhills is about 8 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. For kitchen extract cleaning in and around Sandhills, it’s easy to get a fixed quote: please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. We work across South East England and London, Sandhills included. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, and Sandhills is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Guildford page (9 miles or so).
Kitchen extract cleaning in GU8 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as Brook Road, Sebastopol Lane and Hatch Lane, and we cover them all for kitchen extract cleaning. Nearby, we also carry out kitchen extract cleaning in Brook (1 mile west), Wormley (1 mile east), Hambledon (1 mile east), Bowlhead Green (1 mile west) and Witley (1 mile north).

Near you in Sandhills
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Rodborough, Dog And Pheasant Public House and Witley CofE Controlled Infant School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Witley station, roughly 0.5 miles east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Milford Hospital (2.7 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Hydon's Ball and Farncombe Wood.
Common problems we fix in Sandhills
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sandhills is Milford Hospital, about 2.7 miles north-east.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Sandhills before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
