Kitchen extract cleaning in Datchet, done properly
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Datchet, typically within one working day. If you’re dealing with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs onwards. When a restaurant in Datchet asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a smaller place like Datchet, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Datchet
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Upton Hospital about 1.7 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What else we do in Datchet
Datchet kitchens: local notes
Look up Datchet on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 44 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways across Datchet and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Datchet sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Datchet. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Datchet, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Datchet St Mary's CofE Primary School or anywhere near Datchet, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What’s near Datchet
Typical jobs here are in premises near St George's School, The Royal Stag pub and Home Park. Datchet has its own railway station: Datchet station. Other landmarks nearby include Museum of Eton Life (1.5 miles west) and Upton Hospital (1.7 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Staines Reservoirs.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a site near Datchet, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Datchet questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Datchet?
Kitchens in Datchet are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Datchet?
Fire safety enforcement in Datchet is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
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.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can 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)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
