Our kitchen extract cleaning service in Hampshire

Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We are often asked to deal with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points.

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
  4. Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extracts across Hampshire

Across Hampshire, from Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

Hampshire is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in Hampshire. Coastal kitchens in Hampshire often have their busiest months in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.

Basingstoke: A kitchen near Basingstoke station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Bursars and site managers at schools such as King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing
  • A grease trap that needs emptying
  • A damper that sticks or has a damaged link

What affects the quote in Hampshire

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • What state the system is in
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Travel, parking and unloading

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
  • Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
  • Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
  • Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate

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. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

Hampshire questions

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.

Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?

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. Any part without access is noted.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
