About kitchen extract cleaning in Southampton
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Southampton, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across vertical risers, discharge points and canopies and hoods.
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Southampton
From Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park to its smaller places, Southampton has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
Across England, including Southampton, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work. Parts of Southampton are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.
Southampton: School kitchens, at schools like Bevois Town Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Saint Mary's or anywhere around Southampton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
For kitchen extract cleaning in Southampton, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Common problems we fix in Southampton
A kitchen in Southampton builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Southampton. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Southampton
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
