How kitchen extract cleaning works in MK8
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Whitehouse: If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Whitehouse (Linford Manor is about 3.7 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Whitehouse Primary School or anywhere near Whitehouse, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in MK8
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in MK8
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Do you cover MK8?
Yes. Our technicians work in MK8, within the South East and London area we cover.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
