Taplow kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for Taplow, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Kitchen duct cleaning in Taplow
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Taplow, you get one team and one number for every site.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Taplow goes well beyond the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Taplow, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Taplow
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Taplow: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Taplow in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Taplow, the Food Standards Agency lists about 14 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in Taplow outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Taplow does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Taplow and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
Why it’s worth doing now in Taplow
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Somewhere as small as Taplow, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What you get with us

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Taplow: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Taplow. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Taplow. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Taplow. 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.
For kitchens close to Taplow station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicolas or anywhere around Taplow, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mark's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Taplow, about 2.5 miles west.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Taplow, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
