Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thursley
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Thursley, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Surrey.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Thursley
A kitchen in Thursley builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Thursley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Thursley and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Thursley kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Thursley 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. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Thursley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Thursley is Milford Hospital, about 4 miles east.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Thursley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Thursley: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Thursley?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Thursley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Thursley?
In Thursley, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thursley
An overdue clean in Thursley is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. In a place like Thursley, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
