Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stone
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you’re dealing with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can help, from discharge points, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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 Stone goes.
Somewhere as small as Stone, 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Stone
Stone lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Fire safety in Stone falls to 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. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Stone. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Francis, or anywhere in Stone, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

What we’re called out for in Stone
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Historic houses near Stone, such as Beaulieu Palace House about 4.4 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Questions from Stone
Can you get to a site in Stone?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stone included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Stone?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Stone gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
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.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Stone?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stone before we set off.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. 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. A planned visit to Stone is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.
