Our kitchen extract cleaning service in RG22
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and extract fans, and people most often call us about rancid smells from grease in the duct and poor airflow at the canopy.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Where we work in RG22
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across RG22 takes in places such as Basingstoke, Kempshott and Buckskin and the villages in between. Every place on our RG22 list (9 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in RG22, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Kempshott: Historic houses near Kempshott, such as The Vyne about 4.9 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. School kitchens, at schools like Kempshott Junior School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Common problems we fix in RG22
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Managing agents and facilities teams in RG22
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Questions from RG22
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
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.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
