Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hartwell
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Hartwell covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Hartwell covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Hartwell, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Hartwell
Is Hartwell within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hartwell is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hartwell during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hartwell, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Hartwell are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system, from your pictures 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Hartwell: the local picture
There are about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hartwell, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The fire and rescue service for Hartwell is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Hartwell are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hartwell is St John's Hospital, about 1.1 miles west. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hartwell (Waddesdon Manor is about 4.5 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Hartwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Near you in Hartwell
Around Hartwell, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Rose & Crown pub, Pebble Brook School and Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School. The nearest railway station is Aylesbury station, about 1.7 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Dinton Castle (1.8 miles west) and Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (1.8 miles north-east).

Why act early in Hartwell
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 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. In a small place like Hartwell, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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.
Why book with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fully insured

What affects the quote in Hartwell
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How big the system is

- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
