TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Toddington
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We are often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, on extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Toddington, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Around a smaller place like Toddington, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- The times we could work without disrupting the site

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Tell us when your site near Toddington is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What we are called out for in Toddington
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Toddington, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
For schools such as Lyminster Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Toddington
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Toddington during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 18 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Toddington. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Toddington?
That’s Arun council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Toddington. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Toddington
At about 2 miles from the coast, Toddington is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 59 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 34 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Toddington. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Toddington. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Zachary Merton Hospital about 1.8 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Toddington (Ecclesden Manor is about 2.8 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
