Our kitchen extract cleaning service in West Berkshire

The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. Typical jobs include a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, on discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.

There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.

We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extracts across West Berkshire

Kitchens across West Berkshire 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.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in West Berkshire can keep trading.

Newbury: Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Nicolas Church, or anywhere in Newbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as St Nicolas C.E. Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Between visits

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
Keep the baffle filters clean

If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.

Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

Common problems we fix in West Berkshire

A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.

Look out for any of the following:

Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Missing paperwork after a change of operator
An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Poor airflow at the canopy

Leave it or put it right?

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 staff can safely do

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What the work involves, part by part

Ductwork and risers

Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.

Grease filters

A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in West Berkshire

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.

What about areas you cannot get to?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Will I get a certificate after the clean?

You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.

What does TR19 mean?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

What information do you need?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
