Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stone Street
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are missing paperwork after a change of operator and rancid smells from grease in the duct. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Stone Street, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Stone Street: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Stone Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Stone Street
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In a place like Stone Street, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Common questions in Stone Street
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stone Street?

How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like Stone Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a 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.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Stone Street
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
