How kitchen extract cleaning works in RG12
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in RG12, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and an extract that no longer clears the smoke.
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
What affects the price in RG12
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Kitchen extract cleaning across RG12: local notes
From Bracknell, Wick Hill and Priestwood to its smaller places, RG12 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
We work across London and the South East, and RG12 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in RG12.
Bracknell: Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Bracknell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Bracknell station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
What we’re called out for in RG12
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in RG12
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
Common questions in RG12
What’s TR19?
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
