How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Drayton
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Portsmouth.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a smaller kitchen near Drayton, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What a clean won’t put right
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Drayton
Will you come out to Drayton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Drayton included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Drayton?
In Drayton, it’s Portsmouth 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Drayton?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a site near Drayton, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Grease, kitchens and Drayton
The coast is only about 1 mile from Drayton. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 47 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 31 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Drayton. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The fire and rescue service for Drayton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Springfield School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Historic houses near Drayton, such as Warblington Castle about 3.4 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Drayton Methodist Church or elsewhere in Drayton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Drayton is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
