Kitchen duct cleaning in Holmer Green
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Holmer Green, normally within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are grease smells coming from the extract and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Holmer Green, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.
A clean in Holmer Green covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a smaller place like Holmer Green, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.

What else we do in Holmer Green
Common questions in Holmer Green
Can you come to Holmer Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Holmer Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Holmer Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Holmer Green is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What affects the quote in Holmer Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in Holmer Green can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Even a site near Holmer Green that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and certificates.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Holmer Green can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs

Grease, kitchens and Holmer Green
There are about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways in Holmer Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Kitchens in Holmer Green get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Holmer Green 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chiltern Hospital about 1.8 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Holmer Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What we’re called out for in Holmer Green
A kitchen in Holmer Green builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease smells coming from the extract
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Holmer Green Senior School or anywhere near Holmer Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
