Kitchen duct cleaning in Sindlesham
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 canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Sindlesham? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Most kitchens in Sindlesham fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Sindlesham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we work on in Sindlesham
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Kitchen extracts in Sindlesham
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses in Sindlesham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Sindlesham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wokingham council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Sindlesham sits within the area of 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Catherine or elsewhere in Sindlesham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For kitchens close to Winnersh station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sindlesham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Questions from Sindlesham
Can school kitchens in Sindlesham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 8 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Sindlesham. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you cover smaller places like Sindlesham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sindlesham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Sindlesham?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bearwood Primary School or anywhere near Sindlesham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
- When the next visit should be, and why
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
