Why act early in Padworth
An overdue clean in Padworth is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. In a place like Padworth, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Padworth
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Padworth, usually within one working day. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Padworth goes well beyond the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Padworth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
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.
Common questions in Padworth
Who is the fire and rescue service for Padworth?
Fire safety enforcement in Padworth is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you get to a site in Padworth?
Yes, Padworth is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Padworth can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Padworth
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
School kitchens, at schools like Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
