Kitchen extract cleaning near Westfield

Kitchen extract cleaning in Westfield, done properly

Across Westfield, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are rancid smells from grease in the duct and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.

Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.

Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Westfield gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.

A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Westfield

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.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
  • A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
  • An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
  • Stale cooking odours from the system

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Westfield Primary School or anywhere near Westfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Switch the fan on before cooking starts
  • Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
  • Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly

We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.

Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.

How it works

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Westfield.

  1. We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
  2. Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
  3. On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
  4. We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Advice

Different parts, different methods

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 goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.

Why it’s worth doing now in Westfield

An overdue clean in Westfield is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What you get with us

  • A fixed price before any work starts
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • Full insurance on every job

Managing agents and facilities teams in Westfield

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

Kitchen extracts in Westfield

Food Standards Agency data counts about 77 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 36 takeaways in Westfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Kitchens in Westfield get their food hygiene inspections from Woking council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Westfield sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Clandon Park is about 4.1 miles south-east), access may need planning. A hospital like Woking Community Hospital, about 1 mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Questions from Westfield

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Westfield?

In Westfield, it’s Woking council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Westfield during the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 11 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Westfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

When do you clean the extract?

Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.

What should I send you?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • A broken extract fan that won’t run
  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing
  • Fat blocking the kitchen drains

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
