TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Windlesham
Any kitchen we clean in Windlesham gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. 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. Typical jobs include an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Windlesham, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Surrey.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a smaller kitchen near Windlesham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Windlesham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Windlesham?
The local authority for Windlesham is Surrey Heath council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Windlesham out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Windlesham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a smaller place like Windlesham, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters

Part by part
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. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
