TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Shepperton
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you are dealing with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Surrey.
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 Shepperton goes well beyond the canopy.
In a smaller place like Shepperton, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
When to call us in Shepperton
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 Shepperton, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Stale cooking odours from the system
School kitchens, at schools like Thamesmead School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the price is fixed
How the visit works
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A site near Shepperton normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Shepperton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 63 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 22 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Shepperton. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. In Shepperton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Spelthorne council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Shepperton is covered by 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Shepperton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How far ahead should we book?
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.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
