Kitchen extract cleaning in Hazlemere

Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Hazlemere covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.

Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.

For a smaller kitchen near Hazlemere, 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.

We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Hazlemere: your questions answered

Do you cover smaller places like Hazlemere?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hazlemere included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Do you work overnight in Hazlemere?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.

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.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

What information do you need?

A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?

TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.

What we’re called out for in Hazlemere

Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Hazlemere, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Grease smells coming from the extract
  • Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
  • A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
  • A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Hazlemere, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Questions to ask before booking

  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Kitchen extract cleaning in Hazlemere: the local picture

Food Standards Agency records include about 9 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hazlemere. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Hazlemere. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hazlemere. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hospital of St John the Baptist is the nearest hospital to Hazlemere, about 2.2 miles south-west.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hazlemere

Grease that’s 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. A site near Hazlemere that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hazlemere

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • What state the system is in
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we need to know

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Wash or exchange the filters often
  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
  • Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly

We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.

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.

What staff can safely do

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside 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 is our job.

What we do, step by step

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We plan the journey to Hazlemere and bring what the job is likely to need.

  1. First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
  2. Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
  3. With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
  4. The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
  5. Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

Before we arrive

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Ask for a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
