Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Andwell
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Typical jobs include extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, on plenums and filters, extract fans and discharge points. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Andwell, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Andwell, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Andwell
Can you get to a site in Andwell?
Yes. Andwell is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Andwell?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you do not lose a service.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
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. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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. Damaged ones are noted on the report.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Andwell: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Andwell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Andwell get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Andwell sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
The Vyne, about 4.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Andwell; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Swithun's church or anywhere around Andwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Andwell is about 3 miles south-west of Hook, in Hampshire. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Andwell and the rest of Hampshire. Andwell is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. Reading is in our area too, about 13 miles from Andwell.
Kitchen extract cleaning in RG25, RG27 and RG24 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as Greywell Road and Canal Reach, all of which we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. Other places close to Andwell include Mapledurwell (1 mile south), Water End (1 mile north-east), Old Basing (1 mile west), Lychpit (2 miles west) and Wildmoor (2 miles north).

Around Andwell
The nearest railway station is Hook station, roughly 2.4 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Festival Place (3.1 miles west) and Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (4.2 miles west). The countryside around Andwell includes Dogmersfield Lake and The Mill Field.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common problems we fix in Andwell
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 4.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
