About our kitchen extract cleaning in Beansheaf Farm
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you’re dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs onwards. When a restaurant in Beansheaf Farm asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in Beansheaf Farm fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Kitchens around a place like Beansheaf Farm are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Beansheaf Farm
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mapledurham House is about 3.1 miles north), access may need planning.

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 first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Beansheaf Farm can normally be finished without a second trip.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot 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
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Beansheaf Farm

- Plenums and filters
