Grease, kitchens and Wrecclesham
Food Standards Agency records list about 32 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways in Wrecclesham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wrecclesham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Wrecclesham. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wrecclesham (Farnham Castle is about 1.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. School kitchens, at schools like St Peter's CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Wrecclesham
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you have proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help, from extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. Kitchens in Wrecclesham book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a smaller place like Wrecclesham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An undersized canopy or fan

- A duct that’s holed or coming apart

FAQs for Wrecclesham
Can you come to Wrecclesham after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Wrecclesham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Wrecclesham?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What we are called out for in Wrecclesham
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Wrecclesham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wrecclesham
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. A planned visit to Wrecclesham fits your hours; an emergency does not.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a place like Wrecclesham, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
