About kitchen extract cleaning in RG5
Across RG5, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. We’re often asked to deal with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs.
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Where we work in RG5
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across RG5 takes in places such as Woodley and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for RG5, 1 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.
RG5 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 RG5.
Woodley: Church and community hall kitchens, near United Reformed Church or anywhere around Woodley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Berkshire Hospital is the nearest hospital to Woodley, about 2.7 miles west.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in RG5
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in RG5
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
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.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
