Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ludgershall
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Kitchens in Ludgershall book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Ludgershall starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ludgershall
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Boarstall Tower, about 3.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Ludgershall; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Ludgershall: your questions answered
Is Ludgershall within the area you cover?
Yes. Ludgershall is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Ludgershall outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Ludgershall needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. If the system at a site near Ludgershall fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Ludgershall
Kitchens in Ludgershall get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. We cover Ludgershall, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Ludgershall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bicester Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ludgershall, about 5.8 miles north-west.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Ludgershall, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- 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.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ludgershall
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
