How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Walhampton
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and poor airflow at the canopy. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Walhampton, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, 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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The timing of a visit to Walhampton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Why it’s worth doing now in Walhampton
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Walhampton as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. With notice, the visit to Walhampton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Questions from Walhampton
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Walhampton?
It can. Salt air reaches Walhampton, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can a school canteen extract in Walhampton be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Walhampton. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Is Walhampton in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Walhampton included.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the quote in Walhampton
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted

Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
