Our kitchen extract cleaning service in SP11

Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a system with no record of a TR19 clean and missing paperwork after a change of operator.

Your staff do not 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.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
  4. Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

What affects the price in SP11

Kitchen extract cleaning around SP11

Across SP11, from Andover, Ludgershall and East Anton 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.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in SP11 can keep trading.

Ludgershall: Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Ludgershall, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Ludgershall Castle Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we are called out for in SP11

We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
  • Missing paperwork after a change of operator
  • Grease smells coming from the extract
  • An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer

Between visits

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:

  • Keep grease collection points emptied
  • Keep the baffle filters clean
  • Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
  • Give the canopy a daily wipe

A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.

Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SP11

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The number of sites or systems
  • Site rules, permits and inductions

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

What we need to know

To speed up the quote, send us:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Why deal with it now?

Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in SP11

Where does the waste go?

We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Which sectors do you work in?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.

How long does a kitchen extract clean take?

Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
