Overton kitchen extract cleaning
For TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Overton, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Overton and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Overton
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, on plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Overton it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Overton goes well beyond the canopy.
In a smaller place like Overton, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
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 we do, step by step
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. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Overton, so let us know how to reach it.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What else we do in Overton
Grease, kitchens and Overton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Overton. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. In Overton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Overton falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
School kitchens, at schools like Overton Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Overton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A kitchen near Overton station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Overton is about 7 miles west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Anywhere in RG25, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. There’s also a page for Reading, about 19 miles away.
Work in RG25 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need kitchen extract cleaning at premises on High Street, Station Road and London Road or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. Nearby, we also carry out kitchen extract cleaning in Southington (1 mile west), Quidhampton (1 mile north), Laverstoke (2 miles south-west), Freefolk (2 miles west) and Deane (2 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (7 miles east), Winchester (13 miles south), Andover (10 miles west), Alton (14 miles south-east), Tadley (9 miles north-east) and Hook (14 miles east).
Local landmarks in Overton
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Greyhound pub, among other places. The closest station to Overton is Overton station, about 0.8 miles north.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
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 to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. 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 happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Overton than wait for a failure.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why book with us
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- We diagnose before we treat
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
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’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Common questions in Overton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Overton?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Overton. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Overton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Overton needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
