West Berkshire · Kitchen extract cleaning
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Goose Hill
Kitchen extract cleaning across Goose Hill and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
How it works
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 single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Goose Hill.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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 about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Goose Hill
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Goose Hill, typically within one working day. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease drips onto cooking equipment and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Goose Hill: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Goose Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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, whatever the size of the place.
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’re fully insured.

Questions from Goose Hill
Which fire service covers Goose Hill?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Goose Hill. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Goose Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Leave it or put it right?
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, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

Kitchen extracts in Goose Hill
In Goose Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Goose Hill is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hospital like West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 4.1 miles north-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 Ashford Hill Primary School or anywhere near Goose Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Goose Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
