About our kitchen extract cleaning in South Harewood
Any kitchen we clean in South Harewood gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in South Harewood covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like South Harewood, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in South Harewood
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

To help us quote quickly, please include:

Grease, kitchens and South Harewood
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars in South Harewood and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in South Harewood. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for South Harewood is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For schools such as Wherwell Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in South Harewood
Which fire service covers South Harewood?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers South Harewood. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers South Harewood?
The local authority for South Harewood is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in South Harewood?
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.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Visits to a village like South Harewood are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit

Why it’s worth doing now in South Harewood
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. If the system at a site near South Harewood fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
