TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for commercial sites in Botolph Claydon and across Buckinghamshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a small place like Botolph Claydon, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
What we’re called out for in Botolph Claydon
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. 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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
For schools such as East Claydon Church of England School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

FAQs for Botolph Claydon
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Botolph Claydon?
In Botolph Claydon, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Botolph Claydon?
Fire safety enforcement in Botolph Claydon 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.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
