Kitchen extract cleaning for Monxton and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Monxton
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Monxton, normally within one working day. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Monxton asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
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.
For a kitchen in or near Monxton, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Monxton?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 2.8 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Comparing quotes
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Monxton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
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 any work starts.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Monxton: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Monxton. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Monxton. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Monxton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Monxton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Monxton is about 3 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Monxton and the rest of Hampshire. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Monxton among them. Southampton is in our area too, about 21 miles from Monxton.
Postcode districts we cover here for kitchen extract cleaning: SP11. If you need kitchen extract cleaning at premises on High Street, Green Lane and Abbotts Ann Road or anywhere close by, we can help. Close by, we work in Amport (1 mile west), Abbotts Ann (1 mile south-east), Fox (1 mile south-west), Little Ann (2 miles south-east) and Anna Valley (2 miles east).

Local landmarks in Monxton
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Black Swan Public House and John Hanson Community School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Andover station, about 2.8 miles east. Nearby you’ll also find Andover Museum (3.4 miles east) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (2.8 miles north-east). Not far away are Anton Lakes and Mill Lake.
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fault that closes a site in a village like Monxton affects everyone who depends on it.
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 use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Questions from Monxton
Will you come out to Monxton?
Yes. Monxton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Monxton?
In Monxton, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
