How the job changes from site to site
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. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Frogmill
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, extract fans 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.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Frogmill questions
Do you work at weekends in Frogmill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Frogmill can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Frogmill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Frogmill is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
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.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. With notice, the visit to Frogmill can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Frogmill can be planned properly.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
When to call us in Frogmill
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital about 3.2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Frogmill kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Frogmill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Frogmill get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Frogmill sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Danesfield School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 1 mile north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
