What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points

Kitchen extract cleaning in West Green, done properly
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and discharge points. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from West Green start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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 readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as West Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
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 are fully insured.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in West Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in West Green?
In West Green, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you work in West Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A fault that closes a site in a village like West Green affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.
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 the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a small place like West Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease, kitchens and West Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs across West Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. West Green 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. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 3.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in West Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around West Green (Stratfield Saye House is about 4.6 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
West Green is about 4 miles north-west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in West Green, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning.
