Kitchen extract cleaning in South Earlswood
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Common call-outs are for a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on plenums and filters, extract fans and discharge points. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in South Earlswood? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like South Earlswood starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans

Common questions in South Earlswood
Will you come out to South Earlswood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in South Earlswood?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers South Earlswood. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. 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. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in South Earlswood
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. 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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Salfords Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Comparing quotes
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like South Earlswood.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
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.
