TR19 cleaning across GU3

How kitchen extract cleaning works in GU3

Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in GU3, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and grease smells coming from the extract, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and discharge points.

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.

  1. We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
  2. We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

What affects the price in GU3

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Local landmarks in Wood Street Village

We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Royal Oak pub, Kings College Guildford and Rydes Hill Preparatory School. Nearby too are St Alban's Church (less than half a mile north-east), Wood Street Infant School (within half a mile east) and Broadstreet (under half a mile south-east). The nearest railway station is Wanborough station, about 1.7 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Guildford Cathedral Treasury (1.8 miles east) and Guildford Castle (2.7 miles south-east). Not far away are Littlefield Common and St Catherine's Hill.

Where we work in GU3

Our kitchen extract cleaning work across GU3 takes in places such as Guildford, Woking and Stoughton and the villages in between. Every place on our GU3 list (20 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in GU3, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.

Wood Street Village: If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wood Street Infant School or anywhere near Wood Street Village, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Historic houses near Wood Street Village, such as Wanborough Manor about 1.9 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Why deal with it now?

If your kitchen in GU3 is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk.

What your quote should include

  • What insurance they carry
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part

What affects the quote in GU3

We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Travel, parking and unloading

We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we need to know

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Different parts, different methods

Schools, hospitals and care homes

School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

Extract fan and discharge

Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning

A kitchen in GU3 builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Stale cooking odours from the system
  • An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
  • An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
  • Years of baked-on grease in the ducts

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in GU3

Which parts of the extract do you clean?

All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.

What do I get after the clean?

A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

What is TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.

What accreditations do you hold?

We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in GU3?
