Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bradfield
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. 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 extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and grease drips onto cooking equipment. Most calls from Bradfield 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.
Most kitchens in Bradfield fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Bradfield starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Bradfield questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bradfield during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bradfield. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Bradfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Bradfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bradfield
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. In a small place like Bradfield, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

What we’re called out for in Bradfield
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere in Bradfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Visits to a village like Bradfield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
