Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Three Ashes
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Three Ashes, done properly
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you are dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right. Kitchens in Three Ashes book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Why act early in Three Ashes
Any food business in Three Ashes can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. In a place like Three Ashes, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Three Ashes
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Three Ashes, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Three Ashes is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 4.8 miles south.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Three Ashes.
- 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.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Three Ashes
