Kitchen extraction cleaning in Tilford Reeds
Kitchen extract cleaning in Tilford Reeds from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tilford Reeds?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
School kitchens, at schools like All Saints CofE Aided Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Tilford Reeds
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you’re dealing with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can put it right, from extract fans, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Tilford Reeds it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Most kitchens in Tilford Reeds fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as Tilford Reeds, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
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’ve gone.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
FAQs for Tilford Reeds
Do you work overnight in Tilford Reeds?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Tilford Reeds can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tilford Reeds?
Fire safety enforcement in Tilford Reeds is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Is Tilford Reeds in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Tilford Reeds.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a village or hamlet like Tilford Reeds, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
