About kitchen extract cleaning in KT19
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in KT19 give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a system with no record of a TR19 clean.
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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 KT19
In KT19, a busy kitchen in a place such as Epsom, Ewell and Chessington and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in KT19 and beyond.
Epsom: A hospital like Epsom General Hospital, about 0.8 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Epsom (Fitznells Manor is about 1.3 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Common problems we fix in KT19
In KT19, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in KT19 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in KT19
What’s 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.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: 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.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
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 have been trading since 2009.
