Kitchen extract cleaning in Green Park, Reading
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for commercial sites in Green Park and across Reading. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Why act early in Green Park
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. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Green Park
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow at the canopy and grease drips onto cooking equipment. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Reading.
A clean in Green Park covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like Green Park, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Green Park
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Green Park. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Green Park is 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. Kitchens in Green Park get their food hygiene inspections from Reading council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near St Paul's Church, or anywhere in Green Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Royal Berkshire Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Green Park is about 2 miles south of Reading, in Reading. Sites in Green Park get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Across Reading, we cover 34 places, Green Park among them.
Every address in RG2, RG30 and RG7 is within our area for kitchen extract cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. If you need kitchen extract cleaning at premises on Sunapee Road, Flagstaff Road and Longwater Avenue or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover the places around Green Park: Great Lea Common (1 mile south-east), Whitley (1 mile east), Whitley Wood (1 mile south-east), Coley Park (1 mile north) and Three Mile Cross (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Caversham (4 miles north), Norcot (3 miles north-west), Tilehurst Within (3 miles north-west), Arborfield Garrison (5 miles south-east), Caversham Heights (4 miles north) and Sonning Common (6 miles north).

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Green Park, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Green Park questions
Which fire authority looks after Green Park?
Green Park 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.
Do you work in villages like Green Park?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Green Park included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Common problems we fix in Green Park
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Whitley Park Primary and Nursery School or anywhere near Green Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Managing agents and facilities teams in Green Park
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
