Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Lambourn
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Lambourn
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Upper Lambourn, typically within one working day. If you have proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and discharge points onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Upper Lambourn covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Most kitchens in Upper Lambourn 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.
Work in a small place like Upper Lambourn 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Upper Lambourn, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract doesn’t 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. Somewhere as small as Upper Lambourn, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Lambourn
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Lambourn?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Upper Lambourn is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Upper Lambourn?
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 offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Upper Lambourn?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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 an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Upper Lambourn kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in Upper Lambourn and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Upper Lambourn. 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. In Upper Lambourn, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Around Upper Lambourn, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ashdown House is about 2.1 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
