Kitchen extract cleaning in Ashford, Hampshire
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Ashford, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why Ashford businesses choose us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ashford
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can help. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Ashford, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Work in a small place like Ashford 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Ashford
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ashford. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Ashford. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Ashford get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Breamore House is about 3 miles north), access may need planning. For schools such as Fordingbridge Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Ashford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Ashford questions
Can a school canteen extract in Ashford be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ashford. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Ashford?
Yes, Ashford is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long will the clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
