Brent Pelham: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Brent Pelham in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Brent Pelham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Brent Pelham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Brent Pelham can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
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.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Brent Pelham
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Brent Pelham give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have rancid smells from grease in the duct and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Brent Pelham it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Brent Pelham: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Brent Pelham
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
Want a quote for kitchen extract cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a small place like Brent Pelham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You send photos 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
What we are called out for in Brent Pelham
In Brent Pelham, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
A TR19® clean in Brent Pelham does not stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.
