Kitchen extraction cleaning in Amport
Kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Amport. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.

- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Amport
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about stale cooking odours from the system and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Amport, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Amport, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Amport, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Amport
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Stale cooking odours from the system
School kitchens, at schools like Amport Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
FAQs for Amport
Who inspects food businesses in Amport?
In Amport, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you work in Amport outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Amport before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Amport is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. In a place like Amport, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Amport: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Amport are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Amport falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 3.7 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Amport, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
