TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Brockhill
Kitchen extract cleaning for Brockhill, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Brockhill
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
What we are most often called out for:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Brockhill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Brockhill
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Typical jobs include stale cooking odours from the system and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points. Most calls from Brockhill 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.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Brockhill: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Brockhill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common questions in Brockhill
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Brockhill during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Brockhill. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which fire authority looks after Brockhill?
Brockhill is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract does not 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. With notice, the visit to Brockhill can be fitted around your bookings and events.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a village or hamlet like Brockhill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Brockhill: the local picture
Fire safety in Brockhill falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Brockhill is about 27 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 2.4 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Brockhill (St Leonard's Hill is about 3.4 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
