What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Blashford
The FSA’s data shows about 10 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Blashford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Blashford get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Blashford falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 4.7 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Blashford, about 4.5 miles south-west.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Blashford
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and extract fans, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Blashford covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Blashford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Common questions in Blashford
Can you work in Blashford outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Blashford needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Blashford during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Blashford. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Blashford?

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Blashford
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
For schools such as Poulner Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Comparing quotes

- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
- What paperwork you get at the end
Why it’s worth doing now in Blashford
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?

What affects the quote in Blashford
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
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.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Blashford, let us know and we will 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 we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
