Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Bashley
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Common call-outs are for an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, across canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Bashley start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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.
Somewhere as small as Bashley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Bashley
A kitchen in Bashley builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John, or anywhere in Bashley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Bashley
At about 3 miles from the coast, Bashley is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in Bashley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Kitchens in Bashley get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Highcliffe Castle is about 3.5 miles south-west), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Questions from Bashley
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bashley during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bashley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who inspects food businesses in Bashley?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bashley. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
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.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Bashley
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Bashley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bashley
