How kitchen extract cleaning works in GU2
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and grease drips onto cooking equipment.
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extracts across GU2
Kitchens across GU2 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
GU2 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.
Stoughton: Guildford Castle, about 1.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Stoughton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stoughton Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Common problems we fix in GU2
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
What we are most often called out for:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Why act early?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the baffle filters clean
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
GU2: your questions answered
Do you work in GU2?
Yes. Our technicians work in GU2, within the South East and London area we cover.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
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 needed.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
