Kitchen extract cleaning in GU33: how it works

A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or 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. Typical jobs include an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters.

The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
  2. Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
  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 across GU33: local notes

From Liss, West Liss and Hill Brow to its smaller places, GU33 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

GU33 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.

Liss: A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Liss Infant School or anywhere near Liss, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Common problems we fix in GU33

Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
  • Rancid smells from grease in the duct
  • An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
  • Poor airflow at the canopy

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix

Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:

  • A fan motor that has burnt out
  • Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing

Managing agents and facilities teams in GU33

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning

Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The condition we find in the survey

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What to send for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Keeping the system healthy

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
  • Refit filters properly after cleaning
  • Keep the baffle filters clean
  • Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate

Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.

Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

GU33 questions

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.

How much notice should we give?

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

What does TR19 mean?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Can you set up regular visits?

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

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
