TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Pegsdon

Why act early in Pegsdon

After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A fault that closes a site in a village like Pegsdon affects everyone who depends on it.

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Part by part

Ductwork and risers

Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Pegsdon

We cover Pegsdon, about 34 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Pegsdon sits within the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

School kitchens, at schools like Hexton Junior Mixed and Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Faith (Church of England) or elsewhere in Pegsdon, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Keech Hospice Care is the nearest hospital to Pegsdon, about 3.6 miles south-west.
