About our kitchen extract cleaning in Bierton
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Most calls from Bierton come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
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 Bierton, 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 sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Grease, kitchens and Bierton
There are about 75 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 41 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Bierton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bierton. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Bierton is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bierton Church of England Combined School or anywhere near Bierton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tindal Centre is the nearest hospital to Bierton, about 1 mile south-west. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Bierton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common questions in Bierton
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bierton in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bierton. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Bierton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bierton needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself is not law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bierton.
- We survey the system, from your pictures 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, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
