Kitchen extract cleaning across MK14: what to expect
Across MK14, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points.
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go.
- 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.

Landmarks near Great Linford
Typical jobs here are in premises near Webber Independent School, Church of St Andrew and The Black Horse Inn. Also close by are Great Linford Primary School (within half a mile east), Campbell Park (1.7 miles south-east) and Stantonbury Campus (0.6 miles south-west). For rail, the closest station is Wolverton station, roughly 1.7 miles west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Bradwell Motte (1.7 miles south-west) and Milton Keynes University Hospital (3.1 miles south). For a walk, there’s Little Linford Wood and Tongwell Lake.
Where we work in MK14
In MK14, a busy kitchen in a place such as Bradville, Great Linford and Tongwell and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
Across England, including MK14, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Great Linford: For schools such as Great Linford Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Great Linford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Why act early?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in MK14
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
MK14: your questions answered
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
