TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Witley
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are stale cooking odours from the system and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Witley it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Witley: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Witley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. With notice, the visit to Witley can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Witley
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Witley in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Witley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Witley outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Witley can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Is Witley in your area?
Yes. We work in Witley and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

What staff can safely do
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.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Witley.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Witley
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
A hospital like Milford Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease.
