Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Furneux Pelham
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Furneux Pelham, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, 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.
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.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Furneux Pelham
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Furneux Pelham, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Furneux Pelham it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Furneux Pelham goes.
Work in a small place like Furneux Pelham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Furneux Pelham
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Furneux Pelham out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Furneux Pelham. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Furneux Pelham?
That is Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Why act early in Furneux Pelham
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Furneux Pelham now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

When to call us in Furneux Pelham
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Furneux Pelham Church of England School or anywhere near Furneux Pelham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What else we do in Furneux Pelham
What affects the quote in Furneux Pelham
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Furneux Pelham knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
