TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Tattenham Corner
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you have fat running down the canopy edge and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Tattenham Corner, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Tattenham Corner goes.
For a kitchen in or near Tattenham Corner, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Tattenham Corner
Will you come out to Tattenham Corner?
Yes. Tattenham Corner is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Tattenham Corner outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Tattenham Corner keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Tattenham Corner: the local picture
There are about 24 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways in Tattenham Corner and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Tattenham Corner falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Tattenham Corner get their food hygiene inspections from Reigate and Banstead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you cook for passing trade around Tattenham Corner station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Epsom Downs Primary School and Children's Centre tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Tattenham Corner is about 2 miles south-east of Epsom, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Tattenham Corner, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Tattenham Corner is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey where we work for kitchen extract cleaning.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tattenham Corner
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tattenham Corner
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Planning a trip to Tattenham Corner ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tattenham Corner?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Epsom General Hospital about 1.7 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
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 unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Tattenham Corner can be planned properly.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
