The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A site near Steeple Claydon typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- 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.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Common problems we fix in Steeple Claydon
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Claydon House, about 1.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Steeple Claydon; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.

Steeple Claydon: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Steeple Claydon?
In Steeple Claydon, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Steeple Claydon?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Steeple Claydon can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
What affects the quote in Steeple Claydon
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
