Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Cippenham
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are grease drips onto cooking equipment and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Kitchens in Cippenham 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.
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.
For a smaller kitchen near Cippenham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Common questions in Cippenham
Do you work overnight in Cippenham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Cippenham keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Cippenham?
That is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Is Cippenham in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Cippenham.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What else we do in Cippenham
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Around Cippenham, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Cippenham
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Grease, kitchens and Cippenham
Look up Cippenham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 79 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 53 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Cippenham. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Fire safety in Cippenham falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Slough council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cippenham. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For kitchens close to Burnham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Upton Hospital (about 2.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Andrew's Shared Church or anywhere around Cippenham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
