Kitchen extract cleaning in Ashley, Hampshire
We cover Ashley for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Ashley
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 layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and people most often call us about years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Ashley start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Ashley gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extracts in Ashley
Sea air reaches Ashley, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. There are about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 21 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ashley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. The fire and rescue service for Ashley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you cook for passing trade around New Milton station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Ashley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ashley Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ashley
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. A planned visit to Ashley fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- We’re fully insured
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Tell us when your site near Ashley is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
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.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right 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.
Questions from Ashley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ashley?
Food hygiene inspections in Ashley are carried out by New Forest council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does the sea air around Ashley make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Ashley than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you do not lose a service.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
