What affects the quote in Kingsmead
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Kingsmead
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at 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. Typical jobs include an extract that no longer clears the smoke and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. 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.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Kingsmead goes.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Kingsmead
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kingsmead?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Kingsmead. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can the work in Kingsmead be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Kingsmead keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The timing of a visit to Kingsmead is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Kingsmead
In Kingsmead, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Swanmore College of Technology or anywhere near Kingsmead, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and photos are included

What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Somewhere as small as Kingsmead, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
