What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hampstead Norreys
The fire and rescue service for Hampstead Norreys is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Hampstead Norreys. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hampstead Norreys C.E. Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hampstead Norreys, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Hampstead Norreys
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Common call-outs are for grease smells coming from the extract and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, on extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Hampstead Norreys start: 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 Hampstead Norreys: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Hampstead Norreys, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hampstead Norreys
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
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.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common questions in Hampstead Norreys
Can the work in Hampstead Norreys be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hampstead Norreys needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hampstead Norreys?
Food hygiene inspections in Hampstead Norreys are carried out by West Berkshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is Hampstead Norreys in your area?
Yes. We work in Hampstead Norreys and the rest of West Berkshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere as small as Hampstead Norreys, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hampstead Norreys
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When to call us in Hampstead Norreys
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. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hampstead Norreys is West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 5.8 miles south-west.
Questions to ask before booking
