How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Woodnesborough.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Woodnesborough
Across Woodnesborough, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. We are often asked to deal with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Woodnesborough, you get one team and one number for every site.
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.
Somewhere as small as Woodnesborough, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Woodnesborough?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Goodnestone Park, about 3.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Woodnesborough; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Managing agents and facilities teams in Woodnesborough
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
