Kitchen extract cleaning across Milton Keynes: what to expect

Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Milton Keynes, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about rancid smells from grease in the duct and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate.

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

  1. You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
  2. Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
  3. The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • The number of sites or systems
  • The size of the system

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Problems your staff have spotted

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Why act early?

Any food business in Milton Keynes can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.

What your quote should include

  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • What insurance they carry

When something else is needed

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing
  • A broken extract fan that will not run
  • A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed

Why it fails

Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
  • A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
  • Fat running down the canopy edge
  • Missing paperwork after a change of operator

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Milton Keynes

How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?

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. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?

Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

We don’t 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.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

How long does a kitchen extract clean take?

Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
