Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Fratton
Kitchen extract cleaning for Fratton, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Fratton
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and extract fans, and people most often call us about an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Fratton typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Fratton: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Kitchens around a place like Fratton are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Fratton
Do you cover smaller places like Fratton?
Yes. Fratton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does the sea air around Fratton make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
It can, as Fratton is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fratton
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. A site near Fratton that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Other services in Fratton
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
What we’re called out for in Fratton
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Fratton, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary's Hospital (about within half a mile east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

Kitchen extract cleaning in Fratton: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Fratton is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 97 pubs and bars and about 21 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Fratton. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Fratton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Portsmouth council. 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.
Commuter trade near Fratton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Penhale Infant School & Nursery, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
