Upper Wield kitchen extract cleaning
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Wield? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Upper Wield
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you’re dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Upper Wield start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a kitchen in or near Upper Wield, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Upper Wield
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Upper Wield (Hall Place is about 2.2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A broken extract fan that won’t run

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.

Advice
Upper Wield questions
Who inspects food businesses in Upper Wield?
Food hygiene inspections in Upper Wield are carried out by East Hampshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is Upper Wield within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Upper Wield included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Different parts, different methods
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
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Wield
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. With notice, the visit to Upper Wield can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
