Grease, kitchens and Martins Heron
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 56 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 20 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Martins Heron. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Food hygiene inspections in Martins Heron are the job of Bracknell Forest 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. The fire and rescue service for Martins Heron is 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.
For schools such as Harmans Water Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you cook for passing trade around Martins Heron station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Martins Heron
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help, from canopies and hoods, extract fans and vertical risers onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Martins Heron it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Martins Heron goes.
For a smaller kitchen near Martins Heron, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something 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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 10 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Martins Heron. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Tell us when your site near Martins Heron is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Martins Heron and across Bracknell Forest. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Martins Heron
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Paul or anywhere around Martins Heron, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
