TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Radnage
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you’re dealing with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right. Most calls from Radnage come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
A clean in Radnage covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Radnage starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere as small as Radnage, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Radnage
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Radnage. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Radnage. 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 Radnage falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Radnage Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Radnage, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan

When to call us in Radnage
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (West Wycombe Park House is about 3.2 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Common questions in Radnage
Do you work overnight in Radnage?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Radnage needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Radnage?
The local authority for Radnage is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
