Kitchen extract cleaning in Bedgrove
Any kitchen we clean in Bedgrove gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you are dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans onwards. Kitchens in Bedgrove book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Bedgrove gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Bedgrove
Look up Bedgrove on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 91 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 48 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bedgrove. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Bedgrove get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Bedgrove is covered by 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bedgrove Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Spirit, or anywhere in Bedgrove, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Stoke Mandeville Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Bedgrove is about 2 miles south-east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Bedgrove and the rest of Buckinghamshire.

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Around Bedgrove, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Bedgrove questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bedgrove?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bedgrove in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Bedgrove, the Food Standards Agency lists about 21 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bedgrove
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- We are fully insured
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the baffle filters clean
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
