Kitchen extracts in Byfleet
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Byfleet. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Byfleet. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Woking council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Byfleet. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you cook for passing trade around Byfleet & New Haw station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Byfleet, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

TR19 inspection in Byfleet
BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals by daily use: heavy use (12 to 16 hours a day) every 3 months, moderate use (6 to 12 hours) every 6 months and light use (2 to 6 hours) every 12 months. Grease testing shows whether your kitchen needs cleaning more often than that. If you are dealing with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can help, from access surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Byfleet, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Around Byfleet, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- We note where access panels are and where more are needed.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- We report back with readings and a fixed quote.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Byfleet
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Never cook with filters missing
- File every inspection report with your certificates
Each report suggests the next clean and the next test, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep all TR19 records together so the history is easy to show.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers can be hard to get into. We record what can and can’t be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In healthcare and care settings, kitchens may run from early until late. Readings show if cleaning is frequent enough.
Questions from Byfleet
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Byfleet?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Byfleet. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Byfleet after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Byfleet can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How much does TR19 inspection cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you check other contractors’ cleans?
We visit after a clean, take readings at set points and photograph the system. The report flags anything missed.
Is TR19 cleaning the law?
No. TR19® is a specification, not a statute. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
When should we have our next grease test?
That varies with the kitchen’s daily use. BESA sets minimum cleaning intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months by daily use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.

Common problems we fix in Byfleet
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, so readings are the reliable guide.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
A hospital like Runnymede Hospital, about 3.5 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing
Fixed quotes for TR19 inspection in Byfleet
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
