Kitchen extract cleaning in Aythorpe Roding
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and fat running down the canopy edge. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Aythorpe Roding start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Aythorpe Roding goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Aythorpe Roding, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Questions from Aythorpe Roding
Can you work in Aythorpe Roding outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Aythorpe Roding doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Aythorpe Roding?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Aythorpe Roding included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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 each one has its own record.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Somewhere as small as Aythorpe Roding, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning around Aythorpe Roding
The fire and rescue service for Aythorpe Roding is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Aythorpe Roding?
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Aythorpe Roding, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rodings Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
