How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little London
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Little London it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Little London, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.

What else we do in Little London
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Little London?
In Little London, 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.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Little London (The Vyne is about 1.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Little London is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- 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.

Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Little London
Do you work at weekends in Little London?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Little London during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Little London, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Grease, kitchens and Little London
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Little London. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Little London. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Little London are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital is the nearest hospital to Little London, about 3.6 miles south. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Stephen's Church or elsewhere in Little London, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
