Kitchen extract cleaning in RG42: how it works
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. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
What you will pay
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

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.

Kitchen extract cleaning across RG42: local notes
In RG42, we work in places such as Bracknell, Wick Hill and Priestwood and well beyond. We cover every place we list for RG42, 24 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
RG42 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in RG42.
Priestwood: Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Andrew, or anywhere in Priestwood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Meadow Vale Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Why it fails
In RG42, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Managing agents and facilities teams in RG42
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Questions from RG42
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re 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 paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
