Kitchen extract cleaning in Winkfield Row, done properly
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are a system with no record of a TR19 clean and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Kitchens in Winkfield Row book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Winkfield Row: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Winkfield Row, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Winkfield Row and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

When to call us in Winkfield Row
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
What we are most often called out for:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Where a hall near St Martin's Church, or anywhere in Winkfield Row, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you will receive afterwards
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. With notice, the visit to Winkfield Row can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

FAQs for Winkfield Row
Can you come to Winkfield Row after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Winkfield Row?
In Winkfield Row, it’s Bracknell Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
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. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What affects the quote in Winkfield Row
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Part by part
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
