About our kitchen extract cleaning in Wickham Common
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you’re dealing with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Wickham Common normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, 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.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Wash or exchange the filters often
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Wickham Common can be planned properly.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters

Wickham Common questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wickham Common?
The local authority for Wickham Common is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to Wickham Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wickham Common is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
When to call us in Wickham Common
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Wickham Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

What else we do in Wickham Common
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
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 can’t be reached.
