Kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Slackstead, done properly
Across Lower Slackstead, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Lower Slackstead typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in Lower Slackstead fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near Lower Slackstead, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Lower Slackstead questions
Can you work in Lower Slackstead outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Lower Slackstead keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Slackstead?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lower Slackstead included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Slackstead
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Lower Slackstead
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. 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.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottisfont Abbey is about 4.3 miles west), access may need planning.
Before booking anyone
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere as small as Lower Slackstead, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
