Tutts Clump kitchen extract cleaning
Our technicians work in Tutts Clump on kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Tutts Clump
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a system with no record of a TR19 clean and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Kitchens in Tutts Clump book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Most kitchens in Tutts Clump fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a village or hamlet like Tutts Clump, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Tutts Clump get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Tutts Clump sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Tutts Clump questions
Can the work in Tutts Clump be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Tutts Clump doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Tutts Clump within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tutts Clump is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
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.
Do you look at the system first?
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 do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tutts Clump?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bradfield C.E. Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end

- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.

- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Related advice
Why act early in Tutts Clump
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. In a small place like Tutts Clump, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
