About kitchen extract cleaning in GU10

Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include a kitchen taken over without any extract records and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, on canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs.

Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

  1. We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
  2. Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning around GU10

Across GU10, from Fleet, Farnham and Ash outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across GU10 do not have to lose a day.

Lower Bourne: Term dates shape school work: for a school like Farnham College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 1.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What staff can safely do

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Fat blocking the kitchen drains
  • A broken extract fan that won’t run
  • Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)

Different parts, different methods

Extract fan and discharge

At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.

Canopy and plenum

Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.

What we’re called out for in GU10

Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in GU10, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
  • An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
  • Poor airflow at the canopy
  • Grease dripping from the canopy or filters

What happens if it’s left?

TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must 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.

What your quote should include

  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • What insurance they carry
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Whether VAT is included

FAQs for GU10

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

How much notice should we give?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

Will I get a certificate after the clean?

A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.

How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?

It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.

Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?

Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
