Kitchen extract cleaning in HP17: how it works
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit.
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How we quote
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Around Haddenham
Around Haddenham, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Haddenham Community Infant School, The Green Dragon Public House and Parish Church of St Mary. The nearest railway station is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.

Where we work in HP17
In HP17, we work in places such as Haddenham, Queens Park and Stone and well beyond. Every place on our HP17 list (20 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
We work across London and the South East, and HP17 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in HP17.
Haddenham: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Haddenham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Haddenham Community Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Why deal with it now?
Any food business in HP17 can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.

Managing agents and facilities teams in HP17
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in HP17 and across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Questions from HP17
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
