We clean every reachable part of the system in Stone: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Stone, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

What else we do in Stone
Part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Questions from Stone
Do you work at weekends in Stone?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stone?
That is Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stone. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
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.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
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.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stone?
In Stone, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Waddesdon Manor is about 4.1 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the price is fixed
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Stone, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- 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.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Grease, kitchens and Stone
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Stone and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Stone sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Stone are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stone Church of England Combined School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Hospital about 0.5 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
