Kitchen duct cleaning in Ecchinswell
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across West Berkshire.
A clean in Ecchinswell covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Ecchinswell, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Ecchinswell
Is Ecchinswell within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Ecchinswell?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Ecchinswell can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
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.
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 the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Grease, kitchens and Ecchinswell
At about 53 miles from central London, Ecchinswell sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ecchinswell. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Historic houses near Ecchinswell, such as Highclere Castle about 3.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Berkshire Community Hospital about 5.1 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For kitchen extract cleaning in Ecchinswell, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ecchinswell
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. With notice, the visit to Ecchinswell can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep grease collection points emptied
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.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Ecchinswell, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Ecchinswell
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ecchinswell and Sydmonton Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
