Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hughenden Valley
Across Hughenden Valley, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Hughenden Valley start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Hughenden Valley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hughenden Valley
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
FAQs for Hughenden Valley
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hughenden Valley?
Fire safety enforcement in Hughenden Valley is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hughenden Valley in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Hughenden Valley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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 an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It 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. Visits to a village like Hughenden Valley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
