Our technicians work in Lambourn on kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lambourn
Across Lambourn, 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. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can put it right. Kitchens in Lambourn book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a smaller place like Lambourn, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extracts in Lambourn
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Lambourn, up to about a mile and a half out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Food hygiene inspections in Lambourn are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. 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. Fire safety in Lambourn falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lambourn CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ashdown House is about 3.5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. When a site near Lambourn shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Lambourn
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Everything the job in Lambourn needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
Lambourn: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Lambourn?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Lambourn can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Lambourn?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lambourn is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Common problems we fix in Lambourn
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Lambourn, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
