TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ashfield
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Ashfield? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Ashfield goes well beyond the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Ashfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Common problems we fix in Ashfield
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.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Where a hall near Church of St Boniface, or anywhere in Ashfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
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’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ashfield, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Ashfield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Other services in Ashfield
Kitchen extract cleaning around Ashfield
Ashfield is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 20 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Ashfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Ashfield falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 2.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Oasis Academy Lord's Hill, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Questions from Ashfield
Do you work overnight in Ashfield?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Ashfield needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
