Kitchen extract cleaning in Quelm Park, done properly
Across Quelm Park, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and rancid smells from grease in the duct. 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.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a smaller place like Quelm Park, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Your opening hours decide when we come to Quelm Park, not ours.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Why deal with it now?
Any food business in Quelm Park can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. A site near Quelm Park that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Quelm Park kitchens: local notes
There are about 66 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Quelm Park, 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. Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in Quelm Park. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Quelm Park is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew or elsewhere in Quelm Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Sandy Lane Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Quelm Park: your questions answered
Is Quelm Park within the area you cover?
Yes, Quelm Park is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Quelm Park in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Quelm Park. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Will I get a certificate 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 includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
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, which grease thickness testing will show.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Quelm Park
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
