About our kitchen extract cleaning in Fifield
We’ve 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 are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re often asked to deal with stale cooking odours from the system and fat running down the canopy edge, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and discharge points. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Fifield covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a small place like Fifield, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Fifield
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fifield. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Fifield falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Fifield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Braywood CofE First School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like King Edward VII Hospital about 3.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints, or anywhere in Fifield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Questions from Fifield
Can a school canteen extract in Fifield be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Fifield, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work in villages like Fifield?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Fifield included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
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
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Fifield, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Fifield
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Fifield.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fifield
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to 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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fifield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
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 go through it with you.
