Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
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.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Chute Forest
Any kitchen we clean in Chute Forest gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. 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. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Chute Forest start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
A clean in Chute Forest covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Chute Forest, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Chute Forest questions
Who inspects food businesses in Chute Forest?
Kitchens in Chute Forest are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Chute Forest?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Chute Forest. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you cover Chute Forest?
Yes. We cover Chute Forest and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you quote from photos?
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to 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.

Common problems we fix in Chute Forest
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Chute Forest, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Chute Forest and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Why act early in Chute Forest
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. 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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Chute Forest rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

How it works
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. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The timing of a visit to Chute Forest is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos 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.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
