Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Upper Chute and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Upper Chute
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you are dealing with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and discharge points onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Upper Chute typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Upper Chute starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Upper Chute before we set off.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Kitchen extracts in Upper Chute
In Upper Chute, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Upper Chute. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Upper Chute is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 5.8 miles south-east.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
