Kitchen extract cleaning across RG17: what to expect
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a kitchen taken over without any extract records.
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

Kitchen extract cleaning across RG17: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across RG17 takes in places such as Hungerford, Lambourn and Kintbury and the villages in between. Every place on our RG17 list (26 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in RG17, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Hungerford: If you cook for passing trade around Hungerford station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hungerford Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to.
Comparing quotes
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
FAQs for RG17
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you cover RG17?
Yes. We cover RG17 and the rest of West Berkshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
