TR19 commercial kitchen cleaning in Chertsey.
TR19® cleaning for Chertsey kitchens, ventilation and ductwork — grease cleared back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer needs.
Your local Chertsey duct cleaning team
Chertsey is a historic Thames-side town — the Guildford Street and town-centre restaurants, the riverside pubs by the Thames, the hospital and care-home catering, and the hotels around Thorpe Park and the M25. Each kitchen runs an extract system that fills with grease.
We clean and certify those systems to BESA TR19® standards across Chertsey and the surrounding area, back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer and fire officer expect.

Cleaning frequency for Chertsey kitchens
BESA TR19® sets intervals by how many hours a day your kitchen runs — the same intervals insurers and fire officers use.
Every 3 months
Heavy use — 12 to 16 hours a day. Busy restaurants, hotels and takeaways.
Every 6 months
Moderate use — 6 to 12 hours a day. Pubs, cafes and canteens.
Every 12 months
Light use — 2 to 6 hours a day. Offices, small kitchens and clubs.

Transparent, fixed pricing
Most Chertsey jobs start from £300–£500. Larger or more complex sites — hotels, hospitals, schools and high-rise blocks — typically run from £1,000 to £3,000+.
The price depends on duct length, how much grease has built up, and how accessible the system is. We survey first (or review your schematics) and give a fixed, no-surprises quote that includes full documentation. It is always cheaper than a fire, a fine, or a rejected insurance claim.

Recent Chertsey healthcare facility project
Hospital catering kitchen, Chertsey KT16
The challenge. A 500-bed hospital in the Chertsey area had its extract system flagged during an infection control audit. Multi-floor catering operation serving patients and staff required meticulous cleaning meeting healthcare-specific compliance standards.
What we did. We coordinated with hospital facilities and infection control teams, scheduled work across 3 shifts during quieter service periods, and cleaned all ductwork and extract equipment to bare metal using COSHH-compliant methods suitable for healthcare environments.
The result. All infection control requirements met, comprehensive documentation and TR19® certification provided within 48 hours, audit sign-off achieved. Hospital catering now fully compliant for patient safety and regulatory inspections.

On local expertise: "Chertsey's got a unique character—the Abbey legacy, the Thames riverside, Guildford Street traders, and the hospitality scene around Thorpe Park. I've been cleaning kitchens here for over a decade: riverside restaurants with tricky water access, healthcare facilities with infection control demands, holiday parks with multiple operations. Every Chertsey location has its story, and I know how to serve them all."

Serving Chertsey & the surrounding area
We know Chertsey
Chertsey grew up around Chertsey Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in AD 666, and is famous for the legend of the Chertsey curfew bell — said to have been muffled by Blanche Heriot to save her lover. Chertsey Bridge still carries the road over the Thames.
Those town-centre and riverside kitchens, and the hospital, hotel and care-home canteens across KT16, are where we clean and certify extract systems — so wherever your Chertsey kitchen sits, we already know the area.
