Hungerford Green kitchen extract cleaning
We cover Hungerford Green for kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Hungerford Green
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Hungerford Green, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. Most calls from Hungerford Green come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a kitchen in or near Hungerford Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Hungerford Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
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. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Common problems we fix in Hungerford Green
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Basildon Park is about 3.4 miles east), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains

FAQs for Hungerford Green
Do you work overnight in Hungerford Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Hungerford Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Hungerford Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hungerford Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is 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 about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
