Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Haddenham
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are grease drips onto cooking equipment and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Haddenham, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Most kitchens in Haddenham fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a smaller kitchen near Haddenham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in Haddenham is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. A quieter site near Haddenham still needs its system looked after.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What staff can safely do
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 can diagnose it and quote.
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.
FAQs for Haddenham
Can school kitchens in Haddenham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Haddenham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire service covers Haddenham?
Haddenham is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
When to call us in Haddenham
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Haddenham Community Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
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.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a site near Haddenham, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Look up Haddenham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Haddenham. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. In Haddenham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Haddenham falls to 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.
