Kitchen duct cleaning in Hundred Acres
Any kitchen we clean in Hundred Acres gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Hundred Acres, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. 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. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
You get a photo report after every clean. 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.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Hundred Acres kitchens: local notes

Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Hundred Acres falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hundred Acres.

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Hundred Acres
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Hundred Acres, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
