FAQs for Hipley
Do you work at weekends in Hipley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Hipley?
Kitchens in Hipley are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Hipley?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
How long will the clean take?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Where does the waste go?
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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Is Hipley in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Hipley included.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hipley
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. Kitchens in Hipley book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
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 Hipley, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hipley run smoothly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in Hipley can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hipley affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Common problems we fix in Hipley
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Hipley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Grease, kitchens and Hipley
Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Hipley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hipley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Alexandra Hospital about 4 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
