Our kitchen extract cleaning service in GU30

Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. We are often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and plenums and filters.

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.

  1. We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
  3. The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

What you’ll pay

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Kitchen extracts across GU30

Kitchens across GU30 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.

We work across London and the South East, and GU30 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in GU30.

Liphook: Commuter trade near Liphook station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church Centre or elsewhere in Liphook, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Between visits

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Give the canopy a daily wipe
  • Wash or exchange the filters often
  • Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
  • Never cook with filters missing or out of place

A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.

Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

What happens if it’s left?

A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow.

What the work involves, 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.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning

Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • A system with no record of a TR19 clean
  • Missing paperwork after a change of operator
  • Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
  • Years of baked-on grease in the ducts

What staff can safely do

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Common questions in GU30

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.

What should I send you?

Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Where does the waste go?

We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
