About kitchen extract cleaning in MK5
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in MK5, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers.
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
What happens if it’s left?

Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Managing agents and facilities teams in MK5
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in MK5
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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 needed.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
