TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in High Roding
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. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from High Roding start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in High Roding goes.
Somewhere as small as High Roding, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

High Roding: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like High Roding?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in High Roding can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

When to call us in High Roding
In High Roding, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Historic houses near High Roding, such as Barrington Hall about 3.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to High Roding and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
