How the job changes from site to site
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.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Cuddington
Across Cuddington, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Cuddington, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.
A clean in Cuddington covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Cuddington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Cuddington kitchens: local notes
Look up Cuddington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cuddington. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Food hygiene inspections in Cuddington are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Cuddington. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hospital like St John's Hospital, about 2.4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Historic houses near Cuddington, such as Waddesdon Manor about 3.3 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.

Common questions in Cuddington
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Cuddington during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Cuddington. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is Cuddington within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cuddington included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. 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.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What we’re called out for in Cuddington
In Cuddington, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Cuddington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Cuddington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
