About kitchen extract cleaning in Slough
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and people most often call us about years of baked-on grease in the ducts and stale cooking odours from the system.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Where we work in Slough
Kitchens across Slough cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in Slough, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Slough: For kitchens close to Slough station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Herschel Grammar School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Slough, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Questions from Slough
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
