About kitchen extract cleaning in Windsor and Maidenhead
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. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include rancid smells from grease in the duct and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers.
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

Kitchen extracts across Windsor and Maidenhead
From Maidenhead, Windsor and Boyn Hill to its smaller places, Windsor and Maidenhead has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Windsor and Maidenhead can keep trading.
Maidenhead: A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 0.6 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Claires Court Schools, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Windsor and Maidenhead can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.

Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Windsor and Maidenhead questions
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do you cover Windsor and Maidenhead?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Windsor and Maidenhead included.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
