About our kitchen extract cleaning in Bray
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy or filters and stale cooking odours from the system. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Bray covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like Bray, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
The process
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 are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Bray knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Common questions in Bray
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bray?
In Bray, it’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Bray out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Bray, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Bray?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Do you cover Bray?
Yes. We cover Bray and across Windsor and Maidenhead, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What is TR19?
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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
When to call us in Bray
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Michael's Church or elsewhere in Bray, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they recommend a next date
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
