Why Reading kitchens need scheduled extract cleaning

Reading kitchens run hot and long, and the grease that leaves the pan does not disappear — it settles inside your canopy, filters and ductwork.

Working across Berkshire, our engineers dismantle the canopy, hand-scrub plenum and duct surfaces, clean impellers and housings, and photograph every stage.

Reports are issued within 24 hours, so Reading operators can file evidence the same week the work is done.

Because Reading has a strong presence of coffee shops and bakeries, most of our work here happens overnight or on closed days, with keys, alarm codes and access agreed in writing beforehand.

Reading population approx. 174,000 — one of the UK's most populated areas, served from our Berkshire base.

Heavy-use kitchens in Reading — high-volume frying, charcoal grills, wok ranges — usually need quarterly cleaning. Moderate use is six-monthly and light use annual.

Fixed written quotes for Reading sites from £335, priced by canopy length and duct run rather than hourly rates.

What Reading kitchens say about us

5.0

Average from 60 verified kitchen extract jobs in and around Reading

We had no access panels on the main duct riser. They cleaned everything reachable, marked the rest on a schematic and fitted compliant hatches on the return visit. Fair price for the amount of work involved.

Straight talking, turned up when they said, and the paperwork was genuinely useful at insurance renewal rather than a one-line receipt. Already booked the next visit.

Third company we have used for our Reading site and the first to actually measure grease deposits rather than just wipe the visible bits. Deposit readings before and after made the difference obvious. Would use again without hesitating.

FAQs

Extractor fan cleaning in Reading — your questions

Is duct cleaning a legal requirement in Reading?

Fire safety law requires you to manage grease build-up, and most insurers write TR/19 Grease compliance into your policy. In practice, Berkshire environmental health teams and your insurer both expect documented cleaning for any Reading kitchen with a commercial extract system.

What happens if my ductwork has no access panels?

We survey the Reading system, clean everything reachable, and quote separately for fitting compliant access hatches so the whole run can be certified next time.

Do you clean the extract fan itself?

Yes — impeller, housing, motor casing and discharge are all stripped, degreased and rebalanced where needed. A clogged impeller is the usual reason a Reading kitchen feels smoky.

Are your engineers insured and vetted?

All 8 engineers covering Reading are directly employed, DBS-checked where required, IPAF/PASMA trained for work at height and covered by £10m public liability.
