Kitchen extract cleaning in Stockcross
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Stockcross? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Stockcross covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Stockcross, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Stockcross
Will you come out to Stockcross?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stockcross is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stockcross?
The local authority for Stockcross is West Berkshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
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.
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 as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What is TR19?
A BESA 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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Stockcross?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Stockcross
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. In a place like Stockcross, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere as small as Stockcross, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Kitchen extracts in Stockcross
Fire safety in Stockcross falls to 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. In Stockcross, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stockcross C.E. School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Benham Park is about 0.6 miles south-east), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John or elsewhere in Stockcross, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
