Kitchen extract cleaning in HP20: how it works
Any kitchen we clean in HP20 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. We are often asked to deal with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across vertical risers, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs.
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

What’s near Elmhurst
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Elmhurst School, Stocklake Park Community School and Church of St Mary, among other places. You will also find The New Zealand pub (under half a mile west) and Aylesbury Grammar School (0.9 miles south). The closest station to Elmhurst is Aylesbury station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (0.7 miles south-west) and Tindal Centre (within half a mile south-east).
Where we work in HP20
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across HP20 takes in places such as Aylesbury, Elmhurst and Southcourt and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for HP20, 12 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in HP20 and beyond.
Elmhurst: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Elmhurst, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you cook for passing trade around Aylesbury station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Why it fails
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
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 we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in HP20
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long will the clean take?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
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.
