Kitchen extraction cleaning in Cranbourne
Specialist kitchen extract cleaning for Cranbourne: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Cranbourne
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Cranbourne starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cranbourne
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Cranbourne
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Cranbourne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Cranbourne is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in Cranbourne. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Cranbourne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cranbourne (St Leonard's Hill is about 1.5 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

When to call us in Cranbourne
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cranbourne is Heatherwood Hospital, about 2.8 miles south.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Cranbourne are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Leave it or put it right?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Cranbourne rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You will not 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 email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Trading since 2009
- Every visit written up, with photos

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Vertical risers

Questions from Cranbourne
Will you come out to Cranbourne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cranbourne included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cranbourne?
That’s Bracknell Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cranbourne. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
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 should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
