Kitchen extract cleaning in Myrke, done properly
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. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and grease drips onto cooking equipment. When a restaurant in Myrke asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Myrke, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What staff can safely do
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Myrke
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 25 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 12 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Myrke. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Myrke is covered by 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. It’s Slough council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Myrke. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Laurence, or anywhere in Myrke, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you cook for passing trade around Slough station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Myrke
Will you come out to Myrke?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Myrke?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Myrke doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Myrke, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What we’re called out for in Myrke
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
A hospital like Upton Hospital, about 0.5 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
