How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Farringdon
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Farringdon, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Upper Farringdon it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Farringdon, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Photo reports with every job
- Fully insured

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When to call us in Upper Farringdon
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 Upper Farringdon, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Historic houses near Upper Farringdon, such as Bentworth Hall about 3.9 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Upper Farringdon, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- 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.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Upper Farringdon questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Upper Farringdon?
Upper Farringdon is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Upper Farringdon after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Upper Farringdon keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
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.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
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.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
