Kitchen extract cleaning across RH5: what to expect
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in RH5, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, on horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and extract fans.
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Where we work in RH5
From Dorking, North Holmwood and Pixham to its smaller places, RH5 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in RH5 and beyond.
North Holmwood: A hospital like Headley Court, about 5.9 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in North Holmwood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price is fixed
FAQs for RH5
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
