Kitchen extract cleaning in GU34: how it works
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are fat running down the canopy edge and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer.
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Pricing in GU34
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Local landmarks in Alton
In Alton, that means kitchens and buildings near Church of St Lawrence, Saint Lawrence Church of England Primary School and Amery Hill School. Other local landmarks include Treloar School (1.2 miles north-east) and The 'Baker's Arms' Public House (within half a mile south-east). Alton has its own railway station: Alton station. A little further out are Allen Gallery (less than half a mile east) and Alton Community Hospital (0.9 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Holybourne Hill.
Where we work in GU34
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across GU34 takes in places such as Alton, Four Marks and Medstead and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for GU34, 37 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.
GU34 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
Alton: If you run a café or takeaway near Alton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Alton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs 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.
What affects the quote in GU34
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
GU34 questions
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
