What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Granborough
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Granborough it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a village or hamlet like Granborough, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It 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. Somewhere as small as Granborough, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.

FAQs for Granborough
Do you work in villages like Granborough?
Yes, Granborough is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Granborough?
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Granborough. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What we’re called out for in Granborough
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Sir Thomas Fremantle School or anywhere near Granborough, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Granborough
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Granborough. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Granborough falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Granborough. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Claydon House is about 2.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Granborough, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why act early in Granborough
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Granborough rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
