Kitchen extract cleaning in Britwell
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Most calls from Britwell come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a smaller place like Britwell, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a site near Britwell, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- 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.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What else we do in Britwell
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. 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 hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease, kitchens and Britwell
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs and bars registered in and around Britwell, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Britwell is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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 Britwell get their food hygiene inspections from Slough council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Britwell is Wexham Park Hospital, about 2.1 miles east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Britwell, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Claycots School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
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.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
FAQs for Britwell
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Britwell?
In Britwell, it’s Slough council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire service covers Britwell?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Britwell. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Is Britwell in your area?
Yes. We cover Britwell and the rest of Slough, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
