What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ashlett
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 a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a system with no record of a TR19 clean and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Ashlett it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near Ashlett, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extracts in Ashlett
At about 1 mile from the coast, Ashlett is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Ashlett. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Ashlett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ashlett is Coldeast, about 4 miles north-east. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Ashlett, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 4.7 miles west), access may need planning.
Ashlett is about 4 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Across the SO45 area, we can carry out kitchen extract cleaning at your premises. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Ashlett among them. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby (7 miles or so).

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why act early in Ashlett
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Ashlett rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off.

- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.

Questions from Ashlett
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Ashlett?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Ashlett than inland. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which fire authority looks after Ashlett?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
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 I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
