If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

For a kitchen in or near Stonehills, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stonehills
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. A planned visit to Stonehills is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stonehills?
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Fawley Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Stonehills, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Common questions in Stonehills
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Stonehills?
It can. Stonehills is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Do you work overnight in Stonehills?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Stonehills needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost 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.
Is Stonehills in your area?
Yes. Stonehills is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We will confirm the time when we quote.
