TR19 commercial kitchen cleaning in Lightwater.
TR19® cleaning for Lightwater kitchens, ventilation and ductwork — grease cleared back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer needs.
Your local Lightwater duct cleaning team
Lightwater is a Surrey Heath village between Bagshot and Camberley — the village pubs and restaurants, the country-park café kitchen, and care homes across Windlesham and West End. Each kitchen runs an extract system that fills with grease.
We clean and certify those systems to BESA TR19® standards across Lightwater and the surrounding villages, back to bare metal, with the certificate and photo report your insurer and fire officer expect.

Cleaner, cheaper air
Clears odours, improves airflow and helps fans and AHUs run efficiently — lowering energy use.
Cleaning frequency for Lightwater 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 Lightwater 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.

Those village-pub and country-park kitchens, and the care-home canteens across GU18, are where we clean and certify extract systems — so wherever your Lightwater kitchen sits, we already know the area.
