How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Bagshot
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and vertical risers, and people most often call us about rancid smells from grease in the duct and grease drips onto cooking equipment. Kitchens in Bagshot book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Bagshot, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Bagshot
Why deal with it now?
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. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. It’s simpler to plan the work at Bagshot now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

- Every job surveyed first

What we are called out for in Bagshot
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
What we are most often called out for:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Bagshot, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What affects the quote in Bagshot
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Bagshot, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Bagshot: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bagshot?
Kitchens in Bagshot are inspected by West Berkshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bagshot?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bagshot. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is Bagshot in your area?
Yes. Bagshot is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
