Kitchen extract cleaning in Rowsham
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. Common call-outs are for an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, across extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Rowsham, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Rowsham: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Rowsham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The timing of a visit to Rowsham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Rowsham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Questions from Rowsham
Who is the fire and rescue service for Rowsham?
That’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you get to a site in Rowsham?
Yes, Rowsham is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. 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.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Kitchen extracts in Rowsham
Kitchens in Rowsham get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. We cover Rowsham, about 38 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tindal Centre (about 2.7 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Rowsham (Ascott House is about 3.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Rowsham is about 3 miles north-east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Sites in Rowsham get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. 263 places in Buckinghamshire are on our list, large and small. Our Milton Keynes page covers sites nearby (13 miles or so).
Here we cover the HP22 postcode area for kitchen extract cleaning. Whether your site is on Bennetts Lane and Manor Road or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. Close by, we work in Wingrave (1 mile north-east), Aston Abbotts (1 mile north), Bierton (2 miles south-west), Burcott (2 miles south) and Broughton (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Aylesbury (3 miles south-west), Chesham (12 miles south-east), Buckingham (14 miles north-west), Amersham (14 miles south-east), Elmhurst (3 miles south-west) and Southcourt (4 miles south-west).
Near you in Rowsham
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to MacIntyre School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Aylesbury station, roughly 3.5 miles south-west. Nearby you’ll also find Bolbec Castle (3.6 miles north-west) and Tindal Centre (2.7 miles south-west).
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Rowsham
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Rowsham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
- What records you will receive afterwards
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
