Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Abbotswood
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Abbotswood give you that record for the maintenance log. Common call-outs are for rancid smells from grease in the duct and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on canopies and hoods, vertical risers and discharge points. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Abbotswood start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Work in a small place like Abbotswood starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What we’re called out for in Abbotswood
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Swithun's Church, or anywhere in Abbotswood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they recommend a next date
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Abbotswood knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Abbotswood
Can you get to a site in Abbotswood?
Yes, Abbotswood is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Abbotswood?
Abbotswood is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
