Kitchen extract cleaning in Kintbury
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. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and fat running down the canopy edge, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Kintbury goes.
In a small place like Kintbury, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. 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. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Kintbury as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and certificates.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Common questions in Kintbury
Do you work at weekends in Kintbury?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Kintbury keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kintbury?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Kintbury. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
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.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Kintbury?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.

What else we do in Kintbury
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.

When to call us in Kintbury
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Kintbury, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Kintbury are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
