- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed

Kitchen duct cleaning in Winslow
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can help. Most calls from Winslow come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Winslow: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a smaller place like Winslow, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we’re called out for in Winslow
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Laurence or anywhere around Winslow, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you will receive afterwards
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Why it’s worth doing now in Winslow
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. A site near Winslow that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Winslow
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Winslow in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Winslow. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Winslow?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Winslow keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
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.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Winslow, so let us know how to reach it.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Grease, kitchens and Winslow
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Winslow. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Winslow are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Winslow falls to 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.
A hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital, about 5.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sir Thomas Fremantle School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
