Kitchen extract cleaning in Horton, Slough
Specialist kitchen extract cleaning for Horton: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Horton
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can put it right. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Horton, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
What affects the quote in Horton
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Questions from Horton
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Horton in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Horton. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Will you come out to Horton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Horton is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
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. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Slough. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Grease, kitchens and Horton
There are about 19 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Horton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Horton sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Horton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Colnbrook Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Upton Hospital is the nearest hospital to Horton, about 3.3 miles north-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Horton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Horton can be planned properly.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
