For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
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.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Peasemore
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. We are often asked to deal with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on canopies and hoods, vertical risers and discharge points. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Peasemore start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Somewhere as small as Peasemore, 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: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Peasemore, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Peasemore?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
For kitchens in and around Peasemore, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
