About kitchen extract cleaning in HP6
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19.
We’re 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 as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
What you’ll pay
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What’s near Amersham
Around Amersham, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Home Tuition Service, Woodside Junior School and St. Michael and All Angels. Other local landmarks include Dr Challoner's Grammar School (within half a mile west) and The Pheasant Public House (under half a mile east). There’s a railway station in Amersham itself: Amersham station. Well-known places in the area include Amersham Hospital (1.2 miles south-west) and Amersham Fair Organ Museum (within half a mile north-east). Green spaces nearby include Sands Bank.
Where we work in HP6
From Amersham, Little Chalfont and Amersham on the Hill to its smaller places, HP6 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across HP6 do not have to lose a day.
Amersham: Where a hall near St. Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Amersham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near Amersham, such as Chenies Manor House about 3 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in HP6 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
HP6: your questions answered
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you work in HP6?
Yes. We work in HP6 and the rest of Buckinghamshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
