Kitchen extract cleaning in SO20: how it works
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract.
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we clear up before we go.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
How we quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
Landmarks near Broughton
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Broughton Primary School, Church of St Mary the Virgin and The Tally Ho Public House. The closest station to Broughton is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 4.3 miles south of the centre.
Kitchen extracts across SO20
In SO20, a busy kitchen in a place such as Hyde, Highcliffe and Winnall and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in SO20, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Broughton: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Broughton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Broughton, such as Mottisfont Abbey about 3.9 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
SO20 questions
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is SO20 in your area?
Yes. We work in SO20 and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How long will the clean take?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
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.
