Kitchen extract cleaning in Sunnymeads: the local picture
Look up Sunnymeads on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 23 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sunnymeads. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Sunnymeads. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Sunnymeads. 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.
If you cook for passing trade around Sunnymeads station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wraysbury Primary School or anywhere near Sunnymeads, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Sunnymeads
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Sunnymeads give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are an extract that no longer clears the smoke and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Surrey.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a kitchen in or near Sunnymeads, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When to call us in Sunnymeads
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. 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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Church and community hall kitchens, near SS Peter and Andrew's Church or anywhere around Sunnymeads, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

FAQs for Sunnymeads
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sunnymeads?
Fire safety enforcement in Sunnymeads is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Sunnymeads after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Sunnymeads keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Sunnymeads is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. A planned visit to Sunnymeads is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we do, step by step
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’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Sunnymeads.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
