How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in East Donyland
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in East Donyland, typically within one working day. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in East Donyland covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in East Donyland covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like East Donyland starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in East Donyland before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- 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 pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Managing agents and facilities teams in East Donyland
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in East Donyland?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Lawrence Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the baffle filters clean
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
