Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ufton Green
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can help. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Ufton Green, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in West Berkshire.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Ufton Green: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Ufton Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere like Ufton Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. In a small place like Ufton Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job

Questions from Ufton Green
Do you work overnight in Ufton Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Ufton Green can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Ufton Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ufton Green
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Ufton Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
