About our kitchen extract cleaning in Swanmore
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Swanmore start: 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 Swanmore goes.
In a smaller place like Swanmore, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Everything the job in Swanmore needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Why act early in Swanmore
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- Every visit written up, with pictures

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Swanmore
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)

Common questions in Swanmore
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Swanmore?
Fire safety enforcement in Swanmore is handled by 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.
Can a school canteen extract in Swanmore be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Swanmore. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Grease, kitchens and Swanmore
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Swanmore and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Swanmore. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Swanmore is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near Church of St Barnabas, or anywhere in Swanmore, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 4.3 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Landmarks near Swanmore

Other landmarks nearby include Bishop's Waltham Museum (1.7 miles north-west) and Knowle Hospital (4.3 miles south). For a walk, there’s Beacon Hill and Bishops Waltham Branch LNR.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
