Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eton
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with grease drips onto cooking equipment and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can help, from canopies and hoods, extract fans and plenums and filters onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a village or hamlet like Eton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Eton
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Eton?
Eton is in the area of 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.
Will you come out to Eton?
Yes, Eton is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Eton.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What else we do in Eton
Part by part
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.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A fault that closes a site in a village like Eton affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Eton
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
For kitchens close to Windsor & Eton Riverside station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Grease, kitchens and Eton
There are about 197 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 40 sandwich bars and takeaways across Eton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Eton. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Eton is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Eton Porny CofE First School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Upton Hospital about 1.1 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Eton is about 1 mile north-east of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Whatever kind of site you run in Eton, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Our Windsor and Maidenhead coverage runs to 57 places, Eton among them. We also work in Reading, around 16 miles away.
Our technicians cover all of SL4 for kitchen extract cleaning and the roads nearby. We cover sites on High Street, Eton Square and Common Lane and nearby roads. Main roads around Eton include the A332 and B3022, so getting to you is simple for evening and night visits. We also cover the places around Eton: Clewer (1 mile south-west), Eton Wick (1 mile west), Windsor (1 mile south-west), Boveney (2 miles west) and Dedworth (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Maidenhead (6 miles west), Boyn Hill (6 miles west), North Ascot (6 miles south-west), Cookham (7 miles north-west), Furze Platt (6 miles north-west) and Broomhall (7 miles south).
Near you in Eton
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Goswells, St George's School and Christopher Hotel. The closest station to Eton is Windsor & Eton Riverside station, roughly 0.5 miles south. Nearby you’ll also find Museum of Eton Life (less than half a mile south) and Windsor Castle (0.7 miles south). For a walk, there’s Taplow Lake and Bray Pit.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
