Kitchen extract cleaning in Sheet's Heath, done properly
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Typical jobs include missing paperwork after a change of operator and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, on extract fans, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Sheet's Heath covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Sheet's Heath can be planned properly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Sheet's Heath questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sheet's Heath?
The local authority for Sheet's Heath is Woking council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to Sheet's Heath?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sheet's Heath is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
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.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Sheet's Heath
There are about 17 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 takeaways across Sheet's Heath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. The fire and rescue service for Sheet's Heath is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Woking council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sheet's Heath. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a café or takeaway near Brookwood station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Saviour's Church, or anywhere in Sheet's Heath, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Brookwood Hospital (about 0.9 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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 current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. In a small place like Sheet's Heath, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
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.
