TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Selsdon
We cover Selsdon for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Selsdon
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 ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Selsdon, typically within one working day. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Selsdon, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Most kitchens in Selsdon fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a smaller kitchen near Selsdon, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Selsdon
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Selsdon
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Selsdon, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
What we are most often called out for:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Francis or anywhere around Selsdon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

FAQs for Selsdon
Who inspects food businesses in Selsdon?
Food hygiene inspections in Selsdon are carried out by Croydon council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is Selsdon within the area you cover?
Yes. Selsdon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. 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.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Your opening hours decide when we come to Selsdon, not ours.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
