How kitchen extract cleaning works in RG20
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and missing paperwork after a change of operator.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
What affects the price in RG20
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Around Kingsclere
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Church of St Mary, George And Horne Public House and Kingsclere Church of England Primary School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Thatcham station, about 4.8 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Old Chapel Textile Centre (3.7 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (6 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Ladle Hill.
Where we work in RG20
In RG20, we work in places such as Newbury, Speenhamland and Kingsclere and well beyond. We cover every place we list for RG20, 51 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Across England, including RG20, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Kingsclere: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Kingsclere, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Kingsclere Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Why act early?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they recommend a next date
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in RG20
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Will I get a certificate 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.
