TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Great Kingshill

Across Great Kingshill, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, across plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.

A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.

Somewhere as small as Great Kingshill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each 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.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Great Kingshill

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • How big the system is
  • What state the system is in

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Great Kingshill

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Great Kingshill?

The local authority for Great Kingshill is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

Do you work overnight in Great Kingshill?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Great Kingshill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

How long will the clean take?

It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.

What should I send you?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

How far ahead should we book?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

What about areas you can’t get to?

The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Does the law say I must clean to TR19?

No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.

Which parts of the extract do you clean?

Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.

Different parts, different methods

Restaurant and pub kitchens

A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Wash or exchange the filters often
  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
  • Keep to the recommended cleaning interval

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.

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.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Great Kingshill

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. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.

Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
  • Missing paperwork after a change of operator
  • A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
  • Grease smells coming from the extract

Historic houses near Great Kingshill, such as Hughenden Manor about 2.1 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Great Kingshill

What happens on the day

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere as small as Great Kingshill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
  4. Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Before we arrive

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
