Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Plastow Green
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Common call-outs are for a kitchen taken over without any extract records and fat running down the canopy edge, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and discharge points. When a restaurant in Plastow Green asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
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 Plastow Green goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Questions from Plastow Green
Do you cover smaller places like Plastow Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Plastow Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Plastow Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
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 talk you through the next steps.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Plastow Green: the local picture
Plastow Green is about 50 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Plastow 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, like those at hospitals such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 4.4 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cheam School or anywhere near Plastow Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St Paul, or anywhere in Plastow Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Plastow Green is about 4 miles south of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Every kind of commercial site in Plastow Green, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning.

- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:

- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
