What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Wigley
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers, and people most often call us about cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wigley, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
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 sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

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 with as little disruption as possible.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Wigley: the local picture
Look up Wigley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wigley. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Wigley are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Wigley. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tatchbury Mount Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wigley, about 1.5 miles south.
Wigley is about 3 miles north-west of Totton, in Hampshire. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Wigley and the rest of Hampshire. Wigley is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. Southampton is in our area too, around 7 miles away.
Kitchen extract cleaning in SO51 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

We also work in nearby towns such as Winchester (12 miles north-east), Eastleigh (8 miles east), Totton (3 miles south-east), Chandler's Ford (7 miles east), Hedge End (11 miles east) and Lymington (13 miles south).
Local landmarks in Wigley
The closest station to Wigley is Totton station, roughly 3.4 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Tatchbury Mount Hospital (1.5 miles south) and Eling Experience (3.1 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Copythorne Common.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When to call us in Wigley
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Landford Manor is about 4.4 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why it’s worth doing now in Wigley
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Wigley run smoothly.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wigley?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wigley. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We have been trading since 2009.

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
