About kitchen extract cleaning in GU16
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. 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. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. Common call-outs are for years of baked-on grease in the ducts and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, across discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Near you in Frimley
Around Frimley, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Frimley Lodge Park, Lakeside Primary School and Tomlinscote School and the streets around them. Also close by are St. Peter's Church (less than half a mile west), Tomlinscote School (0.6 miles north-east) and The White Hart Public House (0.6 miles west). The closest station to Frimley is Frimley station, roughly 0.7 miles west. Nearby you will also find Frimley Park Hospital (0.6 miles north-west) and Surrey Heath Museum (1.9 miles north). Open spaces near Frimley include Danger Hill and Wildmoor Heath.
Where we work in GU16
From Camberley, Frimley and York Town to its smaller places, GU16 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Frimley: Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Peter's Church, or anywhere in Frimley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Frimley Park Hospital about 0.6 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What happens if it’s left?
If your kitchen in GU16 is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
What your quote should include
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
FAQs for GU16
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
