Kitchen extract cleaning in Dedworth, done properly
Across Dedworth, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can help, from vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Dedworth, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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 smaller place like Dedworth, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Dedworth
Will you come out to Dedworth?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Dedworth is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in Dedworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Dedworth are carried out by Windsor and Maidenhead council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Dedworth
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Windsor and Maidenhead. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Grease, kitchens and Dedworth
Food Standards Agency data counts about 120 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 18 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Dedworth. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Dedworth is covered by 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. Kitchens in Dedworth get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Dedworth Green First School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like King Edward VII Hospital, about 1.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Around Dedworth, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
When to call us in Dedworth
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (St Leonard's Hill is about 0.6 miles south), access may need planning.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
