Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Thruxton
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Thruxton, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Thruxton give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Thruxton it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Most kitchens in Thruxton fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a small place like Thruxton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Thruxton
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Thruxton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Thruxton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Thruxton?
Kitchens in Thruxton are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Thruxton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Thruxton, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Thruxton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Thruxton sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 3.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Thruxton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Thruxton is about 4 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SP11, we can carry out kitchen extract cleaning at your premises. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Thruxton among them. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page, about 22 miles away.

Local landmarks in Thruxton
Typical jobs here are in premises near The George Inn and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Grateley station, roughly 3.2 miles south-west of the centre.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Thruxton?
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.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
For schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Thruxton
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Thruxton knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
