TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Saunderton Lee
Our technicians work in Saunderton Lee on TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Saunderton Lee
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 can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you’re dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can help. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Saunderton Lee it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Saunderton Lee starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
The visit has three parts: 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 pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Saunderton Lee, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When to call us in Saunderton Lee
A kitchen in Saunderton Lee builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
For schools such as St John's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Saunderton Lee questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Saunderton Lee?

Do you work in villages like Saunderton Lee?

Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.

How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Saunderton Lee and across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
