Dorney Reach kitchen extract cleaning
One call covers TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Dorney Reach: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Dorney Reach
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Dorney Reach give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can put it right, from discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers onwards. When a restaurant in Dorney Reach asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Dorney Reach covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Dorney Reach, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Dorney Reach
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a small place like Dorney Reach, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
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
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Dorney Reach
In Dorney Reach, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 3.1 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
