Common problems we fix in Winsor
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Winsor, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Winsor
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and grease smells coming from the extract, across extract fans, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Winsor, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Winsor goes.
Somewhere as small as Winsor, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, and that’s where we come in.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Winsor.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
FAQs for Winsor
Do you work overnight in Winsor?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Winsor keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Winsor?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Winsor is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
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.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Winsor
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
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.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Winsor kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs registered in and around Winsor, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Winsor. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Winsor sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
