How kitchen extract cleaning works in MK13
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in MK13, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and missing paperwork after a change of operator, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and vertical risers.
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. 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.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extracts across MK13
From Bradville, Bradwell and Two Mile Ash to its smaller places, MK13 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
We work across London and the South East, and MK13 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.
Bradville: Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Bradville, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Linford Manor is about 1.5 miles north-east), access may need planning.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Why act early?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they recommend a next date
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in MK13
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
