Kitchen duct cleaning in Hedsor
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Hedsor give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Hedsor covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Hedsor covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Hedsor, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Hedsor
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hedsor?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can a school canteen extract in Hedsor be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hedsor, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Hedsor, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Part by part
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Kitchen extracts in Hedsor
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 15 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hedsor. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Hedsor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hedsor sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Marlow Community Hospital (about 3.6 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Paul's Church of England Combined School or anywhere near Hedsor, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Cores End United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Hedsor, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Planning a trip to Hedsor ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
