Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Westley
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and rancid smells from grease in the duct. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Westley, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Westley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Westley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

When to call us in Westley
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in Westley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Westley kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Westley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Westley falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Sparsholt Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Westley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital about 3.2 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Westley
Which fire authority looks after Westley?
Westley 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.
Can you get to a site in Westley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Westley included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
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.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Westley, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
