How kitchen extract cleaning works in HP10
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and stale cooking odours from the system.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
What you’ll pay
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.

Where we work in HP10
Kitchens across HP10 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in HP10, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Flackwell Heath: School kitchens, at schools like Juniper Hill School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christ Church or elsewhere in Flackwell Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Why it fails
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in HP10
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 to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Common questions in HP10
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you work in HP10?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes HP10.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
