How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Langley can be planned properly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Langley
Any kitchen we clean in Langley gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you’re dealing with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Langley covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Langley
Do you cover smaller places like Langley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Langley out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Langley. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
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 often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Langley
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Planning a trip to Langley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Langley: the local picture
Langley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops in Langley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Kitchens in Langley get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Langley (Beaulieu Palace House is about 3.5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coldeast about 5.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Langley is about 4 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Langley, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with.

Common problems we fix in Langley
In Langley, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Blackfield Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
