TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Tatsfield
Kitchen extract cleaning for Tatsfield, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tatsfield?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Charles Darwin School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Kitchen extract cleaning in Tatsfield
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Tatsfield, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, on canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Tatsfield normally mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a London area like Tatsfield, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Tatsfield
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Tatsfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tatsfield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tandridge Priory (about 2.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Tatsfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Tatsfield as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
Questions from Tatsfield
What do you need to know about parking in Tatsfield?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Tatsfield, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Which fire service covers Tatsfield?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Tatsfield. 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 does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Tatsfield needs from us.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
