Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Marchwood
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Marchwood
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. Typical jobs include a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease smells coming from the extract, on extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Marchwood, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a smaller place like Marchwood, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common questions in Marchwood
Which environmental health team covers Marchwood?
Food hygiene inspections in Marchwood are carried out by New Forest council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Marchwood?
Marchwood is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Marchwood: the local picture
Marchwood is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Marchwood. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Kitchens in Marchwood get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near Marchwood, such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden about 2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Marchwood Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Marchwood.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.

Why deal with it now?

It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease.

When to call us in Marchwood
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
A hospital like Western Community Hospital, about 2.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
