Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ashurst Bridge
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can help. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Ashurst Bridge? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Ashurst Bridge: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Ashurst Bridge?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ashurst Bridge. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Ashurst Bridge?
It can, as Ashurst Bridge is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you work in Ashurst Bridge?
Yes. Ashurst Bridge is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What we do, step by step
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. The timing of a visit to Ashurst Bridge is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
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.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Ashurst Bridge: the local picture
Ashurst Bridge lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 21 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 19 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ashurst Bridge. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Ashurst Bridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Matthew, or anywhere in Ashurst Bridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Southampton Tudor House and Garden is about 4.8 miles east), access may need planning.
Ashurst Bridge is about 1 mile south-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Sites in Ashurst Bridge get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures.

Landmarks near Ashurst Bridge
Around Ashurst Bridge, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The White Horse pub and Hounsdown School, among other places.

Common problems we fix in Ashurst Bridge
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Ashurst Bridge, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Stale cooking odours from the system
For schools such as Hazel Wood Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
