How kitchen extract cleaning works in SO51
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in SO51, typically within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract.
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. All told, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extracts across SO51
In SO51, a busy kitchen in a place such as Chandler's Ford, Romsey and Hiltingbury 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. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in SO51 and beyond. Coastal kitchens in SO51 often have their busiest months in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.
Romsey: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Swithun's Church or elsewhere in Romsey, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Romsey Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Leave it or put it right?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in SO51 as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What we’re called out for in SO51
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
FAQs for SO51
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in SO51?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How long will the clean take?
Allow as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you don’t lose a service.
