TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Flackwell Heath
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Flackwell Heath, usually within one working day. If you have rancid smells from grease in the duct and fat running down the canopy edge, we can help, from plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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.
In a smaller place like Flackwell Heath, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in Flackwell Heath
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a place like Flackwell Heath, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Flackwell Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Flackwell Heath?
Yes, Flackwell Heath is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Flackwell Heath?
Fire safety enforcement in Flackwell Heath is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Flackwell Heath?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Flackwell Heath kitchens: local notes
Look up Flackwell Heath on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 28 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways in Flackwell Heath and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Kitchens in Flackwell Heath get their food hygiene inspections 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. The fire and rescue service for Flackwell Heath is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hospital of St John the Baptist is the nearest hospital to Flackwell Heath, about 2.5 miles north-west. Historic houses near Flackwell Heath, such as Cliveden about 2.9 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Flackwell Heath, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Flackwell Heath
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
