What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Shurlock Row
Shurlock Row is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Shurlock Row get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wokingham Hospital (about 4.1 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Shurlock Row is about 4 miles east of Woodley, in Wokingham. From the centre of Shurlock Row to the outskirts, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. We cover 35 places across Wokingham, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Reading page, about 7 miles away.
Work in RG10 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Hungerford Lane and Darvills Lane and nearby roads.

Around Shurlock Row
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Royal Oak pub, among other places. The closest station to Shurlock Row is Twyford station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Wokingham Hospital (4.1 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s South Lake and Weycock Hill.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Shurlock Row
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Shurlock Row covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Shurlock Row: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like Shurlock Row, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Shurlock Row questions
Can a school canteen extract in Shurlock Row be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Shurlock Row, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Shurlock Row after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Shurlock Row needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Shurlock Row knowing what to expect.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- 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.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps 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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Shurlock Row is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. If the system at a site near Shurlock Row fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Shurlock Row, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Shurlock Row
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
For schools such as Waltham St Lawrence Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
