How kitchen extract cleaning works in GU4
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in GU4, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are rancid smells from grease in the duct and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs.
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning around GU4
From Guildford, Burpham and Merrow to its smaller places, GU4 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
We work across London and the South East, and GU4 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in GU4.
Burpham: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Spirit or elsewhere in Burpham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as George Abbot School or anywhere near Burpham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Why it fails
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Managing agents and facilities teams in GU4
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Why act early?
An overdue clean in GU4 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
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.
Common questions in GU4
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you cover GU4?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, GU4 included.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
How long will the clean take?
Allow as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
