TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Small Dole
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Small Dole? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Small Dole
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Small Dole, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and fat running down the canopy edge, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, extract fans and discharge points onwards. When a restaurant in Small Dole asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Small Dole: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Small Dole 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Small Dole.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

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.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

What else we do in Small Dole
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Small Dole
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Southlands Hospital (about 4.4 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
