What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Lamport
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Lamport, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. We are often asked to deal with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, on extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Kitchens in Lamport book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Lamport: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. 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.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Lamport
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Lamport during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Lamport. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Lamport?
Yes, Lamport is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Lamport: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lamport. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Lamport are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Lamport falls to 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.
A hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital, about 1.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stowe House is about 0.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Local landmarks in Lamport

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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. Leave those to us.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lamport.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Common problems we fix in Lamport
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Akeley Wood Senior School or anywhere near Lamport, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Comparing quotes
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
