Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Elsted Marsh
Any kitchen we clean in Elsted Marsh gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a village or hamlet like Elsted Marsh, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Elsted Marsh questions
Can you work in Elsted Marsh outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Elsted Marsh keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Elsted Marsh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Elsted Marsh.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Somewhere as small as Elsted Marsh, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What we are called out for in Elsted Marsh
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Where a hall near St George's Church, or anywhere in Elsted Marsh, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
