TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wood Street Village
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and missing paperwork after a change of operator, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wood Street Village, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Wood Street Village, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Wood Street Village
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Wood Street Village during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Wood Street Village, the Food Standards Agency lists about 15 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wood Street Village?
Kitchens in Wood Street Village are inspected by Guildford council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like Wood Street Village, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

When to call us in Wood Street Village
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
A hospital like Guildford Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wood Street Village
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. 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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wood Street Village is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. The fire and rescue service for Wood Street Village is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
