Why it’s worth doing now in Radlett
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Radlett
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. Typical jobs include a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and extract fans. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Radlett, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Radlett gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Radlett
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a place like Radlett, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
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.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Radlett
The FSA’s data shows about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Radlett. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Radlett falls to Hertfordshire 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. Kitchens in Radlett get their food hygiene inspections from Hertsmere council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near St John, or anywhere in Radlett, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St John's Church of England Infant and Nursery School or anywhere near Radlett, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Radlett station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
