TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Bishopstone
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Typical jobs include an extract that no longer clears the smoke and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and discharge points. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Bishopstone it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Bishopstone, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Different parts, different methods
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.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. In a small place like Bishopstone, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Common questions in Bishopstone
Do you cover smaller places like Bishopstone?
Yes. Bishopstone is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Bishopstone?
Fire safety enforcement in Bishopstone is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
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’re fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Bishopstone
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Mandeville School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bishopstone.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
