TR19 cleaning across GU23

Our kitchen extract cleaning service in GU23

We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and people most often call us about fat running down the canopy edge and grease smells coming from the extract.

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.

  1. Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
  4. Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning around GU23

Kitchens across GU23 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.

London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in GU23 and beyond.

Send: If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Send (Clandon Park is about 2.9 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near St William of York, or anywhere in Send, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the quote in GU23

You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The size of the system

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What we need to know

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A duct that’s holed or coming apart
  • A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
  • A damper that sticks or has a damaged link

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:

  • Keep grease collection points emptied
  • Book the next clean before the date on the report
  • Switch the fan on before cooking starts
  • Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day

You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.

Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

What the work involves, part by part

Canopy and plenum

Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.

Grease filters

Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.

Managing agents and facilities teams in GU23

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.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Common questions in GU23

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?

It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

Where does the waste go?

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?

We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
