Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Knights Enham
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. 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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Roman Way Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How they set the interval to the next visit
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Knights Enham
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or 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. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a kitchen taken over without any extract records and stale cooking odours from the system. Most calls from Knights Enham come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Somewhere as small as Knights Enham, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Knights Enham
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A planned visit to Knights Enham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Knights Enham.
- 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.
- 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.

Advice
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Knights Enham
There are about 53 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 27 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Knights Enham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. The fire and rescue service for Knights Enham is 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. Kitchens in Knights Enham get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 1.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Knights Enham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Different parts, different methods
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.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Knights Enham
Can you work in Knights Enham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Knights Enham can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Knights Enham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
