What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Iver Heath
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 10 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Iver Heath. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Iver Heath is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Iver Heath. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Wexham Park Hospital about 2.3 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ickenham Hall is about 3.9 miles north-east), access may need planning. For schools such as Iver Heath Infant School and Nursery, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Iver Heath is about 3 miles west of Hillingdon, in Buckinghamshire. Iver Heath gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Our area takes in 263 places across Buckinghamshire, large and small. We also work in London, around 19 miles away.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Iver Heath, done properly
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can help, from extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Iver Heath start: a system that’s 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.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Iver Heath gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
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.

Iver Heath: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Iver Heath?
Fire safety enforcement in Iver Heath 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.
Which environmental health team covers Iver Heath?
The local authority for Iver Heath is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
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.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
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.
How it 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 photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a place like Iver Heath, we fit the visit around your hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Want a quote for kitchen extract cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
