TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Oakley Green
Kitchen extract cleaning for Oakley Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Fat running down the canopy edge
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Oakley Green
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about a kitchen taken over without any extract records and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Oakley Green, you get one team and one number for every site.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Oakley Green: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Oakley Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Oakley Green
Do you work at weekends in Oakley Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Oakley Green?
Yes, Oakley Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Oakley Green: the local picture
There are about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Oakley Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Oakley Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oakley Green sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Oakley Green is King Edward VII Hospital, about 2.2 miles east. Where a hall near All Saints, or anywhere in Oakley Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near Oakley Green, such as St Leonard's Hill about 1 mile south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Oakley Green.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What happens if it’s left?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. If the system at a site near Oakley Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
