TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Cadmore End
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help, from canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs onwards. When a restaurant in Cadmore End asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Cadmore End 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.
We’ve 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’re fully insured.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Cadmore End
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Questions from Cadmore End
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Cadmore End during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Cadmore End. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to Cadmore End?
Yes, Cadmore End is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re 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.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that is 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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Cadmore End rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What else we do in Cadmore End
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Kitchen extracts in Cadmore End
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Cadmore End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Cadmore End. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Cadmore End is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

When to call us in Cadmore End
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 nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary Le Moor, or anywhere in Cadmore End, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Cadmore End before we set off.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
