Kitchen extract cleaning in Hound, done properly
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Typical jobs include proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Hound, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Hound: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Kitchen extracts in Hound
At about 1 mile from the coast, Hound 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. There are about 34 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Hound, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Environmental health officers from Eastleigh council inspect food businesses in Hound. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hound, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as The Hamble School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it 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 Hound 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.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hound
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hound, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
When to call us in Hound
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
A hospital like Coldeast, about 2.4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
