Emsworth kitchen extract cleaning
We cover Emsworth for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Emsworth
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Emsworth, usually within one working day. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and poor airflow at the canopy. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Emsworth? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Emsworth gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why it’s worth doing now in Emsworth
Any food business in Emsworth can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fully insured
- Trading since 2009
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Emsworth: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Emsworth is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Emsworth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 20 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Emsworth. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Emsworth get their food hygiene inspections from Havant council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Emsworth is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.2 miles west. Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Emsworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Emsworth is about 2 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Emsworth, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

Common problems we fix in Emsworth
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St James Church of England Controlled Primary School or anywhere near Emsworth, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a site near Emsworth, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Emsworth
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Common questions in Emsworth
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Emsworth in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Emsworth, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Emsworth?
That’s Havant council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Emsworth. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How long will the clean take?
Allow as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
