Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little Hoddington
Any kitchen we clean in Little Hoddington 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. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are rancid smells from grease in the duct and poor airflow at the canopy. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Work in a small place like Little Hoddington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Little Hoddington, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Little Hoddington
Little Hoddington is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Little Hoddington sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 6 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Little Hoddington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Little Hoddington rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, 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.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
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’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Little Hoddington
Do you work overnight in Little Hoddington?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Little Hoddington keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Little Hoddington?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Little Hoddington. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the baffle filters clean
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
