Kitchen extract cleaning in Pitch Green
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Pitch Green give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Pitch Green start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like Pitch Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why act early in Pitch Green
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Somewhere as small as Pitch Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What else we do in Pitch Green
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Pitch Green
Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Pitch Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Pitch Green falls to Buckinghamshire 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.
A hospital like Thame Community Hospital, about 4.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Princes Risborough School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Pitch Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Pitch Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Pitch Green?
In Pitch Green, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Pitch Green?

Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pitch Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
