How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Eddington
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Eddington, typically within one working day. If you have fat running down the canopy edge and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can put it right, from extract fans, vertical risers and canopies and hoods onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Upper Eddington normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned 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.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have 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 carry full insurance.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Kitchen extracts in Upper Eddington
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs across Upper Eddington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Upper Eddington are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Upper Eddington is 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hungerford Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Hungerford station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

When to call us in Upper Eddington
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Where a hall near Hungerford Methodist Church, or anywhere in Upper Eddington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common questions in Upper Eddington
Which fire service covers Upper Eddington?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Eddington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Upper Eddington is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s 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.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Upper Eddington.
- 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 any work starts.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
