Questions from Hedgerley
Can the work in Hedgerley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Hedgerley?
Food hygiene inspections in Hedgerley are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Hedgerley
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you’re dealing with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help. Kitchens in Hedgerley book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Work in a small place like Hedgerley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
Common problems we fix in Hedgerley
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Hedgerley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Hedgerley
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hedgerley. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Hedgerley. 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. In Hedgerley, 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Farnham Common Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hedgerley (Cliveden is about 3.8 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Hedgerley knowing what to expect.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
