About our kitchen extract cleaning in The City
Across The City, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you’re dealing with grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can help, from plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in The City, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
A clean in The City covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like The City, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in The City
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in The City?
In The City, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in The City?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, The City included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
How long does a kitchen extract 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. Your quote says how long to expect.
The City kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across The City and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. The City sits within the area of Buckinghamshire 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 in The City get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around The City, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Wycombe Hospital, about 5 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
The City is about 5 miles north-west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in The City and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Our Buckinghamshire coverage runs to 263 places, The City among them. We also work in Reading, around 15 miles away.

Local landmarks in The City
Around The City, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Crown pub. The closest station to The City is Saunderton station, about 1.8 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Wycombe Hospital (5 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Yoesden and Bald Hill.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is 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, and that is where we come in.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Want a quote for kitchen extract cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The timing of a visit to The City is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Common problems we fix in The City
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. 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.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around The City (West Wycombe Park House is about 2.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Why deal with it now?
Any food business in The City can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. With notice, the visit to The City can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
