About kitchen extract cleaning in RG28
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers.
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extract cleaning across RG28: local notes
In RG28, a busy kitchen in a place such as Whitchurch, Freefolk and Laverstoke and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
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 RG28, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Whitchurch: Where a hall near Church of All Hallows, or anywhere in Whitchurch, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Whitchurch Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What insurance they carry
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Common problems we fix in RG28
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in RG28, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.

Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
