How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Shalden Green, done properly
Across Shalden Green, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers discharge points, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and grease drips onto cooking equipment. Kitchens in Shalden Green book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. 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 is where most of the work in Shalden Green goes.
Somewhere as small as Shalden Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Shalden Green
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Shalden Green (Hall Place is about 3.1 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Shalden Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed 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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
What else we do in Shalden Green
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Shalden Green
Can you come to Shalden Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Shalden Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shalden Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Grease, kitchens and Shalden Green
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Shalden Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shalden Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
