Kitchen extract cleaning in West Berkshire: how it works

A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and extract fans.

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

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.
Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Near you in Newbury

In Newbury, that means kitchens and buildings near St Nicolas Church, Victoria Park and St Bartholomew's School, among other places. Also close by are The Diamond Tap (under half a mile north-east), St Nicolas C.E. Junior School (under half a mile south) and St Bartholomew's School (0.6 miles south-west). Newbury has its own railway station: Newbury station. Well-known places in the area include Donnington Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Audrey's Meadow.

Where we work in West Berkshire

Our kitchen extract cleaning work across West Berkshire takes in places such as Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common and the villages in between. Every place on our West Berkshire list (155 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

Across England, including West Berkshire, 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.

Newbury: A kitchen near Newbury station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West Berkshire Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Newbury, about 1.5 miles east.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Why act early?

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.

Questions to ask before booking

If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What hours they’ll be on site
What paperwork you get at the end
Whether a survey comes first

Aftercare tips

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
Keep grease collection points emptied
Keep the baffle filters clean
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, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.

Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

A broken extract fan that won’t run
Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
An undersized canopy or fan

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in West Berkshire

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?

The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.

How long does a kitchen extract clean take?

It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We will confirm the time when we quote.

How do you protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

What accreditations do you hold?

We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in West Berkshire?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
