How kitchen extract cleaning works in MK77
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in MK77 give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods.
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Near you in Whitehouse
Typical jobs here are in premises near Whitehouse Primary School, Watling Academy and Church of the Holy Cross. The nearest railway station is Milton Keynes Central station, about 1.7 miles east.

Where we work in MK77
In MK77, we work in places such as Whitehouse and well beyond. We cover every place we list for MK77, 1 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Across England, including MK77, 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.
Whitehouse: Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Cross or anywhere around Whitehouse, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Whitehouse Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Common problems we fix in MK77
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Why act early?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in MK77
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Is MK77 in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in MK77, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is 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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
