TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Bedham
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. Most calls from Bedham come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Bedham: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Bedham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
Common problems we fix in Bedham
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Historic houses near Bedham, such as Old Place Manor about 2.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
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.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. 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.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Bedham
Can you work in Bedham outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Bedham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Bedham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

What else we do in Bedham
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bedham.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
