What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Temple
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 13 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Temple and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Temple. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Temple get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead 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.
Harleyford Manor, about 0.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Temple; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Temple, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Bisham Church of England Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Temple
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and rancid smells from grease in the duct, on discharge points, vertical risers and plenums and filters. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Temple covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
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 Temple, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Questions from Temple
Is Temple within the area you cover?
Yes, Temple is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Temple out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Temple. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Temple rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Temple, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Temple
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
