Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Bury's Bank
Can the work in Bury's Bank be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Bury's Bank can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in Bury's Bank be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Bury's Bank, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bury's Bank
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Bury's Bank, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help, from canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans onwards. When a restaurant in Bury's Bank asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Bury's Bank covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Bury's Bank, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We are fully insured
Take a look at what affects the cost or our accreditations.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Bury's Bank
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. 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.
What we are called out for in Bury's Bank
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, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
What we are most often called out for:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Bury's Bank, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Kitchen extracts in Bury's Bank
The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Bury's Bank, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Bury's Bank get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Bury's Bank falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
