Kitchen extraction cleaning in Greywell
Kitchen extract cleaning across Greywell and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Greywell
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are fat running down the canopy edge and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Greywell covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Work in a small place like Greywell starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Greywell
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Why act early in Greywell
If your kitchen in Greywell is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. In a place like Greywell, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Greywell kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Greywell. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Greywell sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Greywell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Greywell, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 5.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we are called out for in Greywell
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
For schools such as Robert May's School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What hours they’ll be on site

Greywell: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Greywell?
Yes, Greywell is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Greywell?
The local authority for Greywell is Hart council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
