About kitchen extract cleaning in HP15
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in HP15 give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods.
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning across HP15: local notes
Kitchens across HP15 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in HP15 can keep trading.
Hazlemere: A hospital like Hospital of St John the Baptist, about 2.2 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hughenden Manor is about 2.1 miles west), access may need planning.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in HP15 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in HP15
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Why it fails
In HP15, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
What we are most often called out for:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in HP15
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
