Kitchen extract cleaning in Old Alresford
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. Most calls from Old Alresford come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
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 the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a small place like Old Alresford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Old Alresford
Food Standards Agency records list about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Old Alresford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Old Alresford 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. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Old Alresford. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.1 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Perins School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Old Alresford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
If your kitchen in Old Alresford is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
