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.
In a village or hamlet like Whiteley Village, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.

When to call us in Whiteley Village
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Where a hall near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Whiteley Village, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the price is fixed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Whiteley Village
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Whiteley Village.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. In a place like Whiteley Village, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Whiteley Village is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service.

Questions from Whiteley Village
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Whiteley Village?
Kitchens in Whiteley Village are inspected by Elmbridge council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Whiteley Village?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
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.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
