Kitchen extract cleaning in Streatley, done properly
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Streatley, usually within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Streatley covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Streatley covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Streatley, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. A planned visit to Streatley is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Streatley
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. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Streatley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Streatley
Do you work at weekends in Streatley?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Streatley keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Streatley?
Kitchens in Streatley are inspected by West Berkshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Streatley.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning around Streatley
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Streatley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Food hygiene inspections in Streatley are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. 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. The fire and rescue service for Streatley is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A kitchen near Goring & Streatley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. School kitchens, at schools like Streatley C.E. Voluntary Controlled School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
