Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Wonston
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Typical jobs include years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in South Wonston covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in South Wonston covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like South Wonston starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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 report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Questions from South Wonston
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for South Wonston?
Fire safety enforcement in South Wonston is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in South Wonston during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of South Wonston. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you work in South Wonston?
Yes. Our technicians work in South Wonston, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
Common problems we fix in South Wonston
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as South Wonston Primary School or anywhere near South Wonston, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- 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
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to South Wonston run smoothly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
