How kitchen extract cleaning works in SO21

Across SO21, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. We are often asked to deal with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, on canopies and hoods, discharge points and extract fans.

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.

First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Pricing in SO21

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Local landmarks in Colden Common

We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Colden Common Primary School, Church of the Holy Trinity and Thornden School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Shawford station, about 1.9 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Wolvesey Castle (4.4 miles north) and Eastleigh Museum (2.4 miles south-west). The countryside around Colden Common includes Shawford Down and Twyford Down.

Kitchen extract cleaning around SO21

Across SO21, from Winchester, Allbrook and Highcliffe outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in SO21 and beyond.

Colden Common: Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Colden Common is St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 4.6 miles north. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4.8 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning

Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.

What we are most often called out for:

Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer

What affects the quote in SO21

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

One-off work versus a regular cycle
Parking and loading at the site
When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What we need to know

What to send for a quote:

Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
The times we could work without disrupting the site
Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Where the site is and what kind of site it is

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. 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 email us.

Why deal with it now?

An overdue clean in SO21 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk.

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate

We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.

Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

FAQs for SO21

What types of premises do you cover?

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

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Where does the waste go?

It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

Will the clean disrupt our service?

Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you don’t lose a service.

Is a quote from photos possible?

Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.

What do I get after the clean?

A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
