Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ruscombe
Any kitchen we clean in Ruscombe gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have missing paperwork after a change of operator and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Ruscombe start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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.
For a kitchen in or near Ruscombe, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What else we do in Ruscombe
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ruscombe affects everyone who depends on it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Common questions in Ruscombe
Can school kitchens in Ruscombe be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ruscombe, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ruscombe?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ruscombe. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How far ahead should we book?
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ruscombe.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one

For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

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, and that’s where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When to call us in Ruscombe
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ruscombe is Royal Berkshire Hospital, about 4.9 miles south-west.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Ruscombe
The Food Standards Agency lists about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ruscombe. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Ruscombe 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. Kitchens in Ruscombe get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Ruscombe, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
