Kitchen extract cleaning in SO43: how it works
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about years of baked-on grease in the ducts and fat running down the canopy edge.
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extract cleaning across SO43: local notes
In SO43, we work in places such as Lyndhurst, Emery Down and Minstead and well beyond. Every place on our SO43 list (6 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
SO43 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in SO43.
Lyndhurst: A hospital like Ashurst Hospital, about 2.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Why act early?
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. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What we are called out for in SO43
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
What affects the quote in SO43
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in SO43
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
