Kitchen extract cleaning across GU32: what to expect
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and missing paperwork after a change of operator, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers.
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 a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
What you’ll pay
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 make a difference.

Kitchen extracts across GU32
From Petersfield, East Meon and Sheet to its smaller places, GU32 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
GU32 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in GU32.
East Meon: Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to East Meon, about 4 miles east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School or anywhere near East Meon, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in GU32
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Questions from GU32
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Do you work in GU32?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes GU32.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
