For landlords and multi-site operators
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Greatham
We have 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. If you are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can help. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Greatham typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Somewhere as small as Greatham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Greatham
What affects the quote in Greatham
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Greatham
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere like Greatham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.

Grease, kitchens and Greatham
It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Greatham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. About 45 miles out from central London, Greatham is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Greatham Primary School or anywhere near Greatham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Greatham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 2.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Greatham questions
Which fire authority looks after Greatham?
Greatham is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Greatham?
Kitchens in Greatham are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is Greatham in your area?
Yes. We cover Greatham and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
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.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. 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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Greatham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
