Kitchen extraction cleaning in Huntercombe
Our technicians work in Huntercombe on TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Huntercombe
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and missing paperwork after a change of operator, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. When a restaurant in Huntercombe asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Huntercombe goes well beyond the canopy.
Around a smaller place like Huntercombe, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Huntercombe
There are about 52 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 23 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Huntercombe, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Huntercombe. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Huntercombe are the job of Slough 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.
If you cook for passing trade around Burnham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. School kitchens, at schools like Cippenham Infant School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Andrew's Shared Church or elsewhere in Huntercombe, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What’s near Huntercombe

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Common questions in Huntercombe
Can school kitchens in Huntercombe be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Huntercombe. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Huntercombe?
Fire safety enforcement in Huntercombe is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Do you cover Huntercombe?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Huntercombe included.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Huntercombe
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A quieter site near Huntercombe still needs its system looked after.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Tell us when your site near Huntercombe is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get 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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
