Kitchen extract cleaning in Kitwood
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Kitwood covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Kitwood
At about 50 miles from central London, Kitwood sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Kitwood get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 4.1 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Good Shepherd or anywhere around Kitwood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Four Marks Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common questions in Kitwood
Is Kitwood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kitwood?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Kitwood. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We will confirm the time when we quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
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.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For kitchen extract cleaning in Kitwood, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. 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 usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.

What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

How the visit works

- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
