Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Pamber End
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Pamber End during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Pamber End. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Pamber End?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Pamber End. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.

Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Pamber End goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Pamber End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Pamber End knowing what to expect.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Pamber End
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Pamber End. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Pamber End. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Pamber End, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (The Vyne is about 2 miles south-east), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Pamber Priory or anywhere around Pamber End, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Pamber End is about 2 miles south of Tadley, in Hampshire. Pamber End gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Reading page, about 11 miles away.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pamber End
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
