How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Binfield
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Binfield start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Around a smaller place like Binfield, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Binfield
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Binfield: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Binfield. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Binfield. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Binfield get their food hygiene inspections from Bracknell Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Binfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Binfield is Wokingham Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-west.

Common questions in Binfield
Do you work in villages like Binfield?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Binfield included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Binfield?
That is Bracknell Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Binfield. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene 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.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Why it’s worth doing now in Binfield
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

- Each visit written up, with photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a place like Binfield, we fit the visit around your hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
When to call us in Binfield
In Binfield, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Binfield Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
