Kitchen extract cleaning in PO8: how it works
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. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Common call-outs are for stale cooking odours from the system and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods.
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Near you in Horndean
Typical jobs here are in premises near Red Lion Inn, Saint Wilfrid's and Horndean Infant School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Rowlands Castle station, about 2.6 miles south-east. Nearby you will also find Havant War Memorial Hospital (3.8 miles south) and Clanfield Earthwork (3 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Windmill Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.
Where we work in PO8
In PO8, a busy kitchen in a place such as Horndean, Waterlooville and Cowplain and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
We work across London and the South East, and PO8 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in PO8.
Horndean: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Wilfrid's or elsewhere in Horndean, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Horndean Technology College, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in PO8
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Questions from PO8
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you do not lose a service.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in PO8?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
