Kitchen extract cleaning across KT24: what to expect
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and people most often call us about proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19.
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

What’s near East Horsley
Around East Horsley, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Raleigh School, Church of St Martin and The Forest and the Highlands, among other places. You will also find Howard of Effingham School (1.5 miles east) and Duke Of Wellington Public House (1 mile south). There’s a railway station in East Horsley itself: Horsley station. Nearby you’ll also find Send and Ripley History Society Museum (3.2 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Papercourt Marshes and Boldermere Lake.
Kitchen extracts across KT24
Across KT24, from East Horsley, West Horsley and Little Bookham outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
East Horsley: Historic houses near East Horsley, such as Hatchlands Park about 2.3 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Raleigh School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Why act early?
An overdue clean in KT24 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Common problems we fix in KT24
In KT24, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
KT24: your questions answered
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
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 long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
