Kitchen extract cleaning in Willey Green, done properly
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Willey Green, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and stale cooking odours from the system, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Willey Green typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in Willey Green 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.
In a village or hamlet like Willey Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Willey Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
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.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Why act early in Willey Green
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Willey Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Common problems we fix in Willey Green
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.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Willey Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Kitchen extracts in Willey Green
Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Willey Green. 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. Willey Green is about 29 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Guildford Hospital (about 2.2 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Wanborough Manor is about 1.8 miles south), access may need planning.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Willey Green
Can a school canteen extract in Willey Green be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Willey Green. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in Willey Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Willey Green keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, 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.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
