How kitchen extract cleaning works in Wokingham
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. 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. We’re often asked to deal with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs.
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Wokingham
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across Wokingham takes in places such as Reading, Woodley and Earley and the villages in between. Every place on our Wokingham list (35 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Wokingham is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
Reading: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Nations Christian Centre or elsewhere in Reading, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Coley Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wokingham
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Wokingham questions
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
