Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stockbridge
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Stockbridge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
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.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep grease collection points emptied
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stockbridge.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Stockbridge
Will you come out to Stockbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stockbridge?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Stockbridge?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What we are called out for in Stockbridge
In Stockbridge, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Stockbridge Primary & Pre-School or anywhere near Stockbridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Stockbridge kitchens: local notes
There are about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Stockbridge, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stockbridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Stockbridge 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 Peter or elsewhere in Stockbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
