Our kitchen extract cleaning service in GU22
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and poor airflow at the canopy.
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 first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What affects the price in GU22

How to get a quote

Kitchen extracts across GU22
Across GU22, from Woking, Goldsworth Park and St John's outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Westfield: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark's Church or elsewhere in Westfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Woking Community Hospital, about 1 mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
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.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
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. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to.

GU22: your questions answered
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
