How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in West Wellow
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in West Wellow? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in West Wellow goes.
Work in a small place like West Wellow starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in West Wellow. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Wellow is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Why act early in West Wellow
If your kitchen in West Wellow is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like West Wellow are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in West Wellow
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wellow School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
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.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
