Kitchen extract cleaning across CR6: what to expect

The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and grease dripping from the canopy or filters.

Everything the job needs comes with us, 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 as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

  1. We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
  2. Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
  3. On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
  4. We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Around Warlingham

For rail, the closest station is Upper Warlingham station, about 0.9 miles west.

For a walk, there’s Nore Hill and South London Downs National Nature Reserve.

Where we work in CR6

Our kitchen extract cleaning work across CR6 takes in places such as Warlingham, Hamsey Green and Chelsham and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for CR6, 5 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across CR6 don’t have to lose a day.

Warlingham: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Warlingham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Warlingham Village Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Keeping the system healthy

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
  • Keep the baffle filters clean

A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.

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.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Any permits to work or inductions

Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 go through it with you.

Helping us quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

For kitchen extract cleaning in CR6, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.

Why act early?

If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a written report and photos are included
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part

Questions from CR6

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.

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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.

What should I send you?

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

What does TR19 mean?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
