Kitchen extract cleaning in Cosham, done properly
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are often asked to deal with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Cosham normally mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Cosham covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Around a smaller place like Cosham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from Cosham
Do you work in villages like Cosham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Cosham during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Cosham. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
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.
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 is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Cosham when you book.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Cosham kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from Cosham. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Cosham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 78 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 44 takeaways across Cosham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Environmental health officers from Portsmouth council inspect food businesses in Cosham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Court Lane Junior Academy or anywhere near Cosham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A kitchen near Cosham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hospital like Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 0.6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
