What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Wherwell Wood are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Wherwell Wood
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Wherwell Wood give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease drips onto cooking equipment and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Wherwell Wood typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
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.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Wherwell Wood
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 3.2 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before you book anyone

Wherwell Wood questions
Can the work in Wherwell Wood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Wherwell Wood can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Wherwell Wood?
Kitchens in Wherwell Wood are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

What affects the quote in Wherwell Wood
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
