Common questions in Stalisfield
Do you work in villages like Stalisfield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stalisfield is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Stalisfield?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stalisfield, done properly
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and rancid smells from grease in the duct.

A clean in Stalisfield covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Stalisfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. In a small place like Stalisfield, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stalisfield knowing what to expect.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Related advice
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stalisfield?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Belmont House and Gardens, about 2.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Stalisfield; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether VAT is included

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
