Kitchen extract cleaning in Durrants, Hampshire
Our technicians work in Durrants on kitchen extract cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
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.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Durrants goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extracts in Durrants
The coast is only about 3 miles from Durrants. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Durrants and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Durrants, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Durrants?
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Durrants, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere as small as Durrants, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the quote in Durrants
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Durrants: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Durrants in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Durrants, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Durrants?
It can. Salt air reaches Durrants, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
