Kitchen extract cleaning in Brownbread Street, done properly
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. We are often asked to deal with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, on canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and discharge points. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Brownbread Street start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Brownbread Street goes.
In a village or hamlet like Brownbread Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Brownbread Street.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Why act early in Brownbread Street
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Brownbread Street: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Brownbread Street?
Yes. Brownbread Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brownbread Street?
In Brownbread Street, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
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.
When to call us in Brownbread Street
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Peter or anywhere around Brownbread Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they recommend a next date

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
