How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Bury
Across Bury, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you’re dealing with fat running down the canopy edge and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can put it right, from vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Bury it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Bury goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Bury starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Bury
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
What we are most often called out for:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
School kitchens, at schools like Bury CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Common questions in Bury
Which fire service covers Bury?
Fire safety enforcement in Bury is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Bury?
Food hygiene inspections in Bury are carried out by Chichester council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you do not lose a service.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Why act early in Bury
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. If the system at a site near Bury fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Bury
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bury. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bury. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Bury. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arundel and District Hospital (about 3.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Bury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Somewhere like Bury, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send pictures 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
