How kitchen extract cleaning works in SL1
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 grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Typical jobs include a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs.
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Kitchen extract cleaning around SL1
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SL1 takes in places such as Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for SL1, 10 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
We work across London and the South East, and SL1 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in SL1.
Slough: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Upton Hospital about 0.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A kitchen near Slough station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SL1
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Why act early?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes.
Comparing quotes
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What we are called out for in SL1
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in SL1 and across Slough. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in SL1
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
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’re fully insured.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
