Kitchen extract cleaning across GU14: what to expect
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow at the canopy and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract.
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- 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.

Where we work in GU14
In GU14, we work in places such as Farnborough, Ash Vale and North Camp and well beyond. We cover every place we list for GU14, 7 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 GU14 don’t have to lose a day.
Farnborough: Term dates shape school work: for a school like Tower Hill Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A kitchen near Farnborough Main station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What we’re called out for in GU14
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in GU14, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
FAQs for GU14
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Is GU14 in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, GU14 included.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
