About our kitchen extract cleaning in Lychpit
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Lychpit, normally within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that no longer clears the smoke and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Lychpit typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a kitchen in or near Lychpit, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What we are called out for in Lychpit
A kitchen in Lychpit builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lychpit (The Vyne is about 3 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Lychpit
Can you come to Lychpit after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Lychpit doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school canteen extract in Lychpit be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 17 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Lychpit. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lychpit and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Lychpit
The FSA’s data shows about 17 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered in Lychpit and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Lychpit 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. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lychpit. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. 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 Lychpit, about 2.6 miles west.
