Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Firgo
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and vertical risers. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Firgo, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Firgo starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Questions from Firgo
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Firgo?
Fire safety enforcement in Firgo is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which environmental health team covers Firgo?
The local authority for Firgo is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is Firgo in your area?
Yes. We work in Firgo and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Firgo?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Firgo
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Firgo, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers

Common problems we fix in Firgo
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Firgo, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
