Kitchen duct cleaning in Brock Hill
Across Brock Hill, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Brock Hill? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Brock Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Brock Hill
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Brock Hill, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Brock Hill
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Margaret or anywhere around Brock Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Why it’s worth doing now in Brock Hill
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fault that closes a site in a village like Brock Hill affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fully insured
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Brock Hill questions
Can you come to Brock Hill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can school kitchens in Brock Hill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Brock Hill. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
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. Any part without access is noted.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you cover Brock Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Brock Hill.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Brock Hill.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
