Kitchen extract cleaning in Bradville
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and plenums and filters. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Bradville start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a smaller kitchen near Bradville, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Bradville
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 110 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 64 takeaways and sandwich shops in Bradville and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Environmental health officers from Milton Keynes council inspect food businesses in Bradville. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Bradville is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Pepper Hill School or anywhere near Bradville, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Historic houses near Bradville, such as Linford Manor about 1.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Milton Keynes University Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bradville, about 2.9 miles south-east.

Bradville questions
Will you come out to Bradville?
Yes, Bradville is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bradville?
It’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bradville. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 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.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs

- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Milton Keynes. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Everything the job in Bradville needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
