Grease, kitchens and Pinkneys Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 26 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways in Pinkneys Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. The fire and rescue service for Pinkneys Green is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Pinkneys Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Pinkneys Green, such as Harleyford Manor about 2.6 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Courthouse Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Ductwork cleaning in Pinkneys Green
Each extract duct we take on in Pinkneys Green goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. Common call-outs are for heavy grease at the base of a riser and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, across attenuators, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs.
In a smaller place like Pinkneys Green, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Run the extract fan throughout service
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Even a site near Pinkneys Green that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- We are fully insured
- Photo reports with every job

Pinkneys Green questions
Do you work overnight in Pinkneys Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Pinkneys Green?
That’s Windsor and Maidenhead council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Pinkneys Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Your opening hours decide when we come to Pinkneys Green, not ours.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Pinkneys Green?
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 0.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Comparing quotes
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
