Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stroud
Across Stroud, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include missing paperwork after a change of operator and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points. Kitchens in Stroud book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a village or hamlet like Stroud, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stroud.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stroud
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common problems we fix in Stroud
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
For schools such as Langrish Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Common questions in Stroud
Do you work at weekends in Stroud?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Stroud keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Stroud out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Stroud, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is Stroud in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Stroud included.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Stroud?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Stroud
Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops across Stroud and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Stroud are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Stroud is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stroud, about 1.3 miles east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Stroud Mission Church or elsewhere in Stroud, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
