West Berkshire · Kitchen extract cleaning
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Chaddleworth
Kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Chaddleworth. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Chaddleworth
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Chaddleworth give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Kitchens in Chaddleworth book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
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 Chaddleworth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Common problems we fix in Chaddleworth
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Chaddleworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Chaddleworth
Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Chaddleworth. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. At about 56 miles from central London, Chaddleworth sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Chaddleworth St Andrew's C.E. Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Chaddleworth
Can you work in Chaddleworth outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Chaddleworth does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Chaddleworth?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Chaddleworth included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
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.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chaddleworth
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a village or hamlet like Chaddleworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
