Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in East Claydon
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for an extract that no longer clears the smoke and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in East Claydon it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Work in a small place like East Claydon 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. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to East Claydon run smoothly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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 where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

Kitchen extract cleaning in East Claydon: the local picture
In East Claydon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. 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. East Claydon sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in East Claydon, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Claydon House is about 1.2 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital, about 5.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
East Claydon questions
Can you work in East Claydon outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in East Claydon needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Claydon?
The local authority for East Claydon is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you cover East Claydon?
Yes. We cover East Claydon and across Buckinghamshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will 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.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
