How the visit works
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 before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The timing of a visit to Brown Candover is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Brown Candover questions
Do you work overnight in Brown Candover?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Brown Candover does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Brown Candover?
Yes, Brown Candover is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, 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.
Common problems we fix in Brown Candover
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
A TR19® clean in Brown Candover doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

Why act early in Brown Candover
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. If the system at a site near Brown Candover fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
