Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Drayton
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. We’re often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Drayton covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Drayton goes.
Somewhere as small as Drayton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Drayton.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Drayton questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Drayton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Drayton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Drayton?
In Drayton, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
When do you clean the extract?
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 kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Drayton
Fire safety in Drayton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Drayton, about 54 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Drayton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Drayton, about 4.7 miles east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

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.
