TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in St George's Hill
Kitchen extract cleaning for St George's Hill and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
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 are 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. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like St George's Hill.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in St George's Hill
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you’re dealing with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can help, from discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in St George's Hill, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a smaller kitchen near St George's Hill, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in St George's Hill
Will you come out to St George's Hill?
Yes. St George's Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in St George's Hill?
Kitchens in St George's Hill are inspected by Elmbridge council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
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.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Common problems we fix in St George's Hill
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you cook for passing trade around Weybridge station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

St George's Hill kitchens: local notes

Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Environmental health officers from Elmbridge council inspect food businesses in St George's Hill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near United Reform Church or anywhere around St George's Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in St George's Hill
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
