Common questions in Ditton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ditton?
Kitchens in Ditton are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. 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 clean school canteen extracts around Ditton out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 17 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ditton. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Ditton
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. If you’re dealing with stale cooking odours from the system and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can help, from canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Ditton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ditton
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
School kitchens, at schools like Castleview Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Kitchen extracts in Ditton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Ditton. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Ditton are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Ditton 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.
A hospital like Upton Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Datchet station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ditton
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Planning a trip to Ditton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ditton.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for 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, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
