In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Sutton Courtenay
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. We’re often asked to deal with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, on vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Sutton Courtenay, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a smaller kitchen near Sutton Courtenay, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Part by part
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.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Sutton Courtenay
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Sutton Courtenay, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sutton Courtenay Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether they recommend a next date
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Sutton Courtenay.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
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 each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
