Kitchen extract cleaning in Holyport
Across Holyport, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Common call-outs are for cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Windsor and Maidenhead.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Why act early in Holyport
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. A planned visit to Holyport is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Holyport.

Advice
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
What staff can safely do
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Holyport
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 20 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways across Holyport and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Holyport. 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. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holyport. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Holyport is St Mark's Hospital, about 2.5 miles north-west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Dorney Court is about 2.2 miles east), access may need planning.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Holyport
Do you work in villages like Holyport?
Yes. Holyport is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Holyport?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Holyport does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
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.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Holyport
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Holyport CofE Primary School or anywhere near Holyport, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
