Windsor and Maidenhead · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in Woodside, Windsor and Maidenhead
One call covers kitchen extract cleaning in Woodside: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Woodside, done properly
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Woodside, typically within one working day. If you have a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, discharge points and canopies and hoods onwards. When a restaurant in Woodside asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Woodside: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Woodside, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we are called out for in Woodside
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cranbourne Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
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 ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Woodside.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Woodside
Can a school canteen extract in Woodside be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Woodside. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Woodside?
Kitchens in Woodside are inspected by Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
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. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Woodside: the local picture
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Woodside and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Woodside sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Woodside get their food hygiene inspections from Bracknell Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Woodside, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (St Leonard's Hill is about 2.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

All of SL4 is covered for kitchen extract cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. If you need kitchen extract cleaning at premises on Woodside Road, Fydlers Close and Kiln Lane or a nearby road, we can help.

Around Woodside
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Papplewick School, Silwood Park and Rose pub and the streets around them. The closest station to Woodside is Ascot station, roughly 1.8 miles south of the centre.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. It’s simpler to plan the work at Woodside now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
