Our kitchen extract cleaning service in MK20
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extracts across MK20
In MK20, we work in places such as Caldecote and well beyond. Every place on our MK20 list (1 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Across England, including MK20, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Caldecote: Historic houses near Caldecote, such as Linford Manor about 1.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. For schools such as Tickford Park Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why act early?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
Comparing quotes
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
MK20 questions
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
