Kitchen extract cleaning for Copythorne and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Copythorne
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Copythorne give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Copythorne? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
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.
Work in a small place like Copythorne starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Copythorne can be planned properly.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Copythorne
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around Copythorne, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Copythorne is 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Copythorne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Copythorne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tatchbury Mount Hospital is the nearest hospital to Copythorne, about 1.3 miles east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Copythorne CofE Infant School or anywhere near Copythorne, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Other services in Copythorne
Different parts, different methods
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.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Copythorne
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Copythorne during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Copythorne. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Copythorne?
Yes, Copythorne is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
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’ll ask.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
