Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Chavey Down

Which fire service covers Chavey Down?

That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Chavey Down?

Food hygiene inspections in Chavey Down are carried out by Bracknell Forest council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

What is TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

Can you quote from photos?

Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Chavey Down goes well beyond the canopy.

Work in a small place like Chavey Down starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods

Schools, hospitals and care homes

In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.

Ductwork and risers

Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Chavey Down

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

The process

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Chavey Down, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
  2. Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

How to prepare

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Getting a quote

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

Look up Chavey Down on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Chavey Down. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Food hygiene inspections in Chavey Down are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.

In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Martin's Church or elsewhere in Chavey Down, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 1.1 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. St Leonard's Hill, about 4.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Chavey Down; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Looking after it afterwards

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
  • Keep to the recommended cleaning interval

You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.

Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
