Kitchen extract cleaning in Upton, Slough
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Upton? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Poor airflow at the canopy
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Upton when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Kitchen duct cleaning in Upton
Across Upton, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include an extract that no longer clears the smoke and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Upton it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a smaller place like Upton, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Upton
An overdue clean in Upton is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A site near Upton that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Upton
Food Standards Agency records include about 18 pubs and bars and about 10 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Upton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Upton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Slough council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Upton 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Laurence, or anywhere in Upton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run a café or takeaway near Slough station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

FAQs for Upton
Which fire service covers Upton?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Upton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Upton after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Upton can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What we’re called out for in Upton
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Upton Hospital (about within half a mile north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
