Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upper Swanmore
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and fat running down the canopy edge. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Upper Swanmore? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Upper Swanmore covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Upper Swanmore, 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.
Think of the report as the 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.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What affects the quote in Upper Swanmore
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
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 play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why deal with it now?
If your kitchen in Upper Swanmore is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A planned visit to Upper Swanmore is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Questions from Upper Swanmore
Is Upper Swanmore within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Upper Swanmore is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Upper Swanmore after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Upper Swanmore keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Upper Swanmore, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your photos 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, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Upper Swanmore
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs and bars in Upper Swanmore and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Upper Swanmore falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Upper Swanmore are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Upper Swanmore, about 5.1 miles south. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere in Upper Swanmore, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
