Kitchen extract cleaning in Tingewick, done properly
Across Tingewick, 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. We are often asked to deal with missing paperwork after a change of operator and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across discharge points, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Tingewick start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Tingewick goes well beyond the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Tingewick, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Tingewick questions
Who inspects food businesses in Tingewick?
In Tingewick, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tingewick?
It’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Tingewick. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a small place like Tingewick, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Tingewick: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Tingewick and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Tingewick. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Royal Latin School or anywhere near Tingewick, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why act early in Tingewick
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Tingewick now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
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 is not missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
