Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Midanbury
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Midanbury give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about missing paperwork after a change of operator and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Midanbury covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a smaller place like Midanbury, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Midanbury and across Southampton. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Grease, kitchens and Midanbury
The coast is only about 3 miles from Midanbury. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 91 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 68 takeaways in and around Midanbury, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Midanbury. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Ascension, or anywhere in Midanbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bitterne Park School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you cook for passing trade around Bitterne station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Visits to a place like Midanbury are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

FAQs for Midanbury
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Midanbury during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 26 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Midanbury, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Midanbury?
That is Southampton council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Midanbury. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long will the clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Is Midanbury in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Midanbury.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Why act early in Midanbury
If your kitchen in Midanbury is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. A site near Midanbury that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
