Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Owslebury Bottom
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. We’re often asked to deal with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. Most calls from Owslebury Bottom 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.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Owslebury Bottom goes.
For a kitchen in or near Owslebury Bottom, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Owslebury Bottom, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Owslebury Bottom
Can you get to a site in Owslebury Bottom?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Owslebury Bottom is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Owslebury Bottom after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Owslebury Bottom keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
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.
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. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Owslebury Bottom
In Owslebury Bottom, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Owslebury Bottom is 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Owslebury Bottom, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Owslebury Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Around Owslebury Bottom

What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
What we are called out for in Owslebury Bottom
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 3.7 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
