Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Middle Wallop
Kitchen extract cleaning across Middle Wallop and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Stale cooking odours from the system
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Middle Wallop.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Kitchen duct cleaning in Middle Wallop
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you’re dealing with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can put it right, from discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Middle Wallop, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
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 Middle Wallop, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Middle Wallop
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 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 typically come back within one working day.
Common questions in Middle Wallop
Do you work overnight in Middle Wallop?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Middle Wallop keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Middle Wallop?
Fire safety enforcement in Middle Wallop is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Kitchen extracts in Middle Wallop
Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Middle Wallop. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Middle Wallop is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wallop Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wash or exchange the filters often
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
When to call us in Middle Wallop
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Middle Wallop, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
