About kitchen extract cleaning in RH8
Across RH8, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, across plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and discharge points.
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- 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 RH8
From Oxted, Limpsfield and Hurst Green to its smaller places, RH8 has kitchens of every size. 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 each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Oxted: Where a hall near St Agatha's Hall, or anywhere in Oxted, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hazelwood School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in RH8
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor that has burnt out
What we are called out for in RH8
A kitchen in RH8 builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Questions from RH8
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
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. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. 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. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
