About our kitchen extract cleaning in Easthampstead
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. When a restaurant in Easthampstead asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: 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.
Kitchens around a place like Easthampstead are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the baffle filters clean
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 ready when anyone asks to see it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Easthampstead
Food Standards Agency records include about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Easthampstead. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Easthampstead is 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. Food hygiene inspections in Easthampstead are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, or anywhere in Easthampstead, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Pinewood Hospital, about 2.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fox Hill Primary School or anywhere near Easthampstead, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why act early in Easthampstead
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. A planned visit to Easthampstead fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.

Which fire service covers Easthampstead?
Fire safety enforcement in Easthampstead is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Easthampstead?
Kitchens in Easthampstead are inspected by Bracknell Forest 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.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is a quote from pictures possible?

What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
