Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Askett
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and rancid smells from grease in the duct, on horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and discharge points. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Askett, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Askett, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Askett now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Askett kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Askett. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Askett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Askett is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Askett is Stoke Mandeville Hospital, about 4.1 miles north. If you cook for passing trade around Monks Risborough station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Monks Risborough CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The timing of a visit to Askett is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
