- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. 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.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Burn's Green
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers discharge points, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are rancid smells from grease in the duct and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Burn's Green, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Burn's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Grease, kitchens and Burn's Green
At about 27 miles from central London, Burn's Green sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Burn's Green is covered by Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
School kitchens, at schools like Benington Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Burn's Green is Lister Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-west. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Burn's Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Questions from Burn's Green
Is Burn's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Burn's Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Burn's Green?
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Burn's Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. 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. Somewhere as small as Burn's Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
