The process
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 anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a small place like Stoke Hammond, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Stoke Hammond questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stoke Hammond?
Yes. Stoke Hammond is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Stoke Hammond?
Kitchens in Stoke Hammond are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Stoke Hammond
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stoke Hammond. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Stoke Hammond. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Stoke Hammond get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bletchley Park is about 3.1 miles north), access may need planning.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Stoke Hammond

- One-off work versus a regular cycle

- Any permits to work or inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know

- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

What we are called out for in Stoke Hammond
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:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Where a hall near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Stoke Hammond, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
