What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Skittle Green as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. It’s simpler to plan the work at Skittle Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Skittle Green?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Princes Risborough School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Skittle Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

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, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
For kitchen extract cleaning in Skittle Green, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
