Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bray Wick
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. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points, and people most often call us about grease drips onto cooking equipment and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Windsor and Maidenhead.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Bray Wick goes.
Somewhere as small as Bray Wick, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Bray Wick can be planned properly.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
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.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Bray Wick
Will you come out to Bray Wick?
Yes. Bray Wick is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can a school canteen extract in Bray Wick be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 13 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bray Wick, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Bray Wick kitchens: local notes
There are about 85 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 21 takeaways and sandwich shops in Bray Wick and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Fire safety in Bray Wick falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bray Wick. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael's Church, or anywhere in Bray Wick, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Holyport CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bray Wick
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bray Wick and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
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. Somewhere as small as Bray Wick, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
