Kitchen duct cleaning in Ashley Heath
Across Ashley Heath, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and people most often call us about a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Ashley Heath, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
A clean in Ashley Heath covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Ashley Heath gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Ashley Heath.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
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.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When to call us in Ashley Heath
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Look out for any of the following:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Leonard's Hospital (about 1.6 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the price is fixed
Kitchen extracts in Ashley Heath
Kitchens in Ashley Heath get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Ashley Heath is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
School kitchens, at schools like St Ives Primary & Nursery School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints or elsewhere in Ashley Heath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What does TR19 mean?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
