It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Holloway is calmer for everyone.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Holloway
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Holloway, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have missing paperwork after a change of operator and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can put it right, from vertical risers, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Holloway start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
A clean in Holloway covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Holloway, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Part by part
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.

Holloway questions
Is Holloway within the area you cover?
Yes, Holloway is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Holloway?
In Holloway, it’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Holloway
The FSA’s data shows about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Holloway and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Holloway 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. Food hygiene inspections in Holloway are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Holloway, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Holloway, such as Harleyford Manor about 2.7 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 1.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Holloway
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, and that is where we come in.
