Holme Green kitchen extract cleaning
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Holme Green. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Holme Green can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Holme Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 63 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 15 takeaways across Holme Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Environmental health officers from Wokingham council inspect food businesses in Holme Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Holme Green sits within the area of 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Pinewood Hospital about 1.1 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Sebastian's Church or anywhere around Holme Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Floreat Montague Park Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
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.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Holme Green: your questions answered

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
