About our kitchen extract cleaning in Great Shoddesden
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Great Shoddesden give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Great Shoddesden typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Great Shoddesden covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Great Shoddesden, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, 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.

Great Shoddesden: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Great Shoddesden?
Yes, Great Shoddesden is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire service covers Great Shoddesden?
Fire safety enforcement in Great Shoddesden is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much notice should we give?
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 should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Great Shoddesden
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Great Shoddesden, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
School kitchens, at schools like Ludgershall Castle Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Great Shoddesden
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Great Shoddesden knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Why act early in Great Shoddesden
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. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
