Kitchen duct cleaning in Andover Down
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Andover Down, usually within one working day. If you have a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Andover Down, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Andover Down goes.
Work in a small place like Andover Down starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Andover Down
Can you work in Andover Down outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Andover Down needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Andover Down within the area you cover?
Yes. Andover Down is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Andover Down run smoothly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What we are called out for in Andover Down
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Andover Down, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease smells coming from the extract
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.6 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What paperwork you get at the end

What affects the quote in Andover Down
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
