How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Wallington
Across Wallington, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and missing paperwork after a change of operator. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Wallington usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a smaller place like Wallington, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

When something else is needed

- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Wallington and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Common problems we fix in Wallington
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
School kitchens, at schools like Wykeham House School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What else we do in Wallington
Why act early in Wallington
An overdue clean in Wallington is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A quieter site near Wallington still needs its system looked after.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Wallington
Which fire authority looks after Wallington?
Wallington is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Wallington in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 20 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wallington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Wallington when you book.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Wallington kitchens: local notes
Wallington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 75 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Wallington, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Wallington. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Wallington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. 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 Wallington, about 2.3 miles north-west.
