Kitchen extract cleaning in East End
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, on canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in East End covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in East End covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like East End, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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. Leave those to us.
What affects the quote in East End
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
East End kitchens: local notes
East End lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers East End. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in East End get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 2.7 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in East End, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
East End is about 3 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. Sites in East End get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and East End is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page (11 miles or so).
All of SO41 is within our area for kitchen extract cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include Rowes Lane, Norleywood Road and Lymington Road, all of which we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. Neighbouring places we cover for kitchen extract cleaning include Norleywood (1 mile north-west), Thorns Beach (2 miles east), Hamstead (4 miles south-east), Cranmore (5 miles south) and Bouldnor (5 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Gosport (15 miles east), Eastleigh (15 miles north-east), Fareham (14 miles north-east), Totton (10 miles north), Chandler's Ford (15 miles north) and Hedge End (13 miles north-east).
Near you in East End
For rail, the closest station is Lymington Pier station, about 2.3 miles south-west. Nearby you’ll also find Yarmouth Castle (4.7 miles south) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.7 miles west). Not far away are Boldre Foreshore.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like East End, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in East End
East End: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in East End?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in East End. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in East End?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in East End needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What we are called out for in East End
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
School kitchens, at schools like South Baddesley Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
