Kitchen extraction cleaning in West End Green
One call covers kitchen extract cleaning in West End Green, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Common problems we fix in West End Green
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 5.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Kitchen extract cleaning in West End Green
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and discharge points. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in West End Green it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in West End Green covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as West End Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

West End Green questions
Which fire service covers West End Green?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers West End Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in West End Green?
The local authority for West End Green is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What 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 have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Part by part
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.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wash or exchange the filters often
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which 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 West End Green.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Why act early in West End Green
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. 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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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 explain each part.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Trading since 2009
