About our kitchen extract cleaning in Wadwick
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Wadwick start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Wadwick kitchens: local notes

A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Wadwick sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Common questions in Wadwick
Is Wadwick within the area you cover?
Yes, Wadwick is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Wadwick?
Food hygiene inspections in Wadwick are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How long will the clean take?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
What we are called out for in Wadwick
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 it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Highclere Castle, about 3.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Wadwick; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. In a small place like Wadwick, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
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.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. A fault that closes a site in a village like Wadwick affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
