Our kitchen extract cleaning service in Hampshire

A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer.

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.

We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

How we quote

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Kitchen extract cleaning across Hampshire: local notes

Across Hampshire, from Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

Across England, including Hampshire, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book. Coastal kitchens in Hampshire often have their busiest months in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.

Basingstoke: Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael's Church or anywhere around Basingstoke, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery or anywhere near Basingstoke, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What the work involves, part by part

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.

Grease filters

Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.

Why deal with it now?

If your kitchen in Hampshire is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk.

Questions to ask before booking

Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Whether they recommend a next date

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Keeping the system healthy

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

Keep grease collection points emptied
Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Switch the fan on before cooking starts

The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.

Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Hampshire

What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?

The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.

How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?

Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

Is a quote from photos possible?

Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
