About kitchen extract cleaning in GU46
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are often asked to deal with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and fat running down the canopy edge, across extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs.
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Kitchen extract cleaning around GU46
In GU46, we work in places such as Yateley, Frogmore and Darby Green and well beyond. Every place on our GU46 list (3 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across GU46 do not have to lose a day.
Yateley: Bursars and site managers at schools such as Yateley School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Yateley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in GU46
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Common problems we fix in GU46
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in GU46, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Questions from GU46
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
