Kitchen duct cleaning in Clifton Reynes
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Kitchens in Clifton Reynes book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Clifton Reynes: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Clifton Reynes, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like Clifton Reynes, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning around Clifton Reynes
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Clifton Reynes, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Milton Keynes council inspect food businesses in Clifton Reynes. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Clifton Reynes. 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Clifton Reynes

When to call us in Clifton Reynes
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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Clifton Reynes, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Clifton Reynes, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Clifton Reynes?
It’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Clifton Reynes. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the baffle filters clean
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
