Common questions in Chilton Foliat
Can the work in Chilton Foliat be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Chilton Foliat can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Chilton Foliat?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Chilton Foliat. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chilton Foliat
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 Chilton Foliat give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with stale cooking odours from the system and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Chilton Foliat covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a village or hamlet like Chilton Foliat, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We have 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 are fully insured.

Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook.

Part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

What we’re called out for in Chilton Foliat
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Chilton Foliat Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
