Kitchen duct cleaning in The Warren
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. We’re often asked to deal with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, on vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in The Warren usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like The Warren gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in The Warren
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Bracknell Forest. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Common problems we fix in The Warren
A kitchen in The Warren builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Poor airflow at the canopy
School kitchens, at schools like Harmans Water Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What affects the quote in The Warren
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. Your opening hours decide when we come to The Warren, not ours.
- 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.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

The Warren: your questions answered
Can you work in The Warren outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in The Warren can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like The Warren?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and The Warren is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
Leave it or put it right?
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 current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. When a site near The Warren shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in The Warren
Food Standards Agency records list about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 12 takeaways across The Warren and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Kitchens in The Warren get their food hygiene inspections from Bracknell Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The Warren is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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 Martins Heron station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 1.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
