Kitchen duct cleaning in Exton
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, on discharge points, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. 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.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Exton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Exton?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Exton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.

What else we do in Exton
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Exton kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Exton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Exton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Exton (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

FAQs for Exton
Is Exton within the area you cover?
Yes. Exton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Exton?
Food hygiene inspections in Exton are carried out by Winchester City council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Exton?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Exton.
- 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.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
