Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Boughton Corner, done properly
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease drips onto cooking equipment and poor airflow at the canopy. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Boughton Corner it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Boughton Corner goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Boughton Corner before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Boughton Corner questions
Will you come out to Boughton Corner?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Boughton Corner is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Boughton Corner be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Boughton Corner can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. 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.
Common problems we fix in Boughton Corner
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints’ Church, or anywhere in Boughton Corner, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why act early in Boughton Corner
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Boughton Corner rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
