Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Eversley
Which fire service covers Eversley?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Eversley. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Eversley?
Food hygiene inspections in Eversley are carried out by Wokingham council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Eversley, done properly
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Eversley, you get one team and one number for every site.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Eversley goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Eversley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.

Eversley, about 36 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Eversley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 4.7 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Eversley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Why it’s worth doing now in Eversley
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

When to call us in Eversley
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A hospital like Wokingham Hospital, about 4.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
