Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Caversham Park Village
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Caversham Park Village, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help. Kitchens in Caversham Park Village book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Most kitchens in Caversham Park Village fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Around a smaller place like Caversham Park Village, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Your opening hours decide when we come to Caversham Park Village, not ours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. A planned visit to Caversham Park Village fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What we’re called out for in Caversham Park Village
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Where a hall near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Caversham Park Village, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Caversham Park Village during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Caversham Park Village, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How do you protect the area?

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.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
