About our kitchen extract cleaning in Twyford
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Twyford give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Twyford it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Twyford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Twyford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Kitchen extracts in Twyford
At about 50 miles from central London, Twyford sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Twyford. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Buckingham Community Hospital (about 5.3 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Twyford, such as Claydon House about 3.5 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Twyford C of E School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Twyford is about 5 miles south-west of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Twyford, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. We cover 263 places across Buckinghamshire, large and small. Our Milton Keynes page covers sites nearby (13 miles or so).
Postcode districts we cover here for kitchen extract cleaning: MK18. Whether your site is on Mill Lane, Main Street and School Lane or a nearby road, we can help. Other places close to Twyford include Poundon (1 mile south-west), Charndon (1 mile south), Calvert (2 miles south-east), Hillesden (2 miles north-east) and Preston Bissett (2 miles north).

Local landmarks in Twyford
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Crown pub and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Buckingham Castle (5 miles north-east) and Buckingham Community Hospital (5.3 miles north-east). Not far away are Calvert Jubilee.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
FAQs for Twyford
Which fire authority looks after Twyford?
That is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you work in Twyford outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Twyford can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What accreditations do you hold?
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.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
