Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Swanwick
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and rancid smells from grease in the duct. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Swanwick, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Most kitchens in Swanwick fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
For a kitchen in or near Swanwick, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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.
When to call us in Swanwick
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Swanwick, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

What else we do in Swanwick
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t 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. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why Swanwick businesses choose us
- Every job surveyed first
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Swanwick run smoothly.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Swanwick: the local picture
Sea air reaches Swanwick, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 12 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Swanwick. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Swanwick, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham council. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Sarisbury Church of England Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Coldeast, about 0.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Swanwick
Can a school canteen extract in Swanwick be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Swanwick, the Food Standards Agency lists about 9 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Swanwick within the area you cover?
Yes. Swanwick is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We have been trading since 2009.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
