How kitchen extract cleaning works in Buckinghamshire

Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Typical jobs include cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and rancid smells from grease in the duct, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters.

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
  2. Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
  3. After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
  4. Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Where we work in Buckinghamshire

In Buckinghamshire, we work in places such as Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham and well beyond. We cover every place we list for Buckinghamshire, 263 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.

We work across London and the South East, and Buckinghamshire is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in Buckinghamshire.

Aylesbury: If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Buckinghamshire UTC or anywhere near Aylesbury, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (about less than half a mile north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

When it’s something else

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • A grease trap that needs emptying
  • A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • A duct that is holed or coming apart

Different parts, different methods

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.

Extract fan and discharge

Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.

Why deal with it now?

Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow.

Buckinghamshire: your questions answered

What happens to the waste?

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

What about areas you cannot get to?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

What information do you need?

Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.

What do I get after the clean?

You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
