What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chandler's Ford
Across Chandler's Ford, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and fat running down the canopy edge, on horizontal duct runs, discharge points and plenums and filters. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Chandler's Ford start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a town like Chandler's Ford, most of the kitchen extracts we’re asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Chandler's Ford
The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Chandler's Ford 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 Chandler's Ford get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Chandler's Ford sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A kitchen near Chandlers Ford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Princess Anne Hospital (about 4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chandler's Ford Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In Chandler's Ford, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Related advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
What affects the quote in Chandler's Ford
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Chandler's Ford questions
Which environmental health team covers Chandler's Ford?
That’s Eastleigh council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chandler's Ford. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Chandler's Ford?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
