Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Bassett Green
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and fat running down the canopy edge, on extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Bassett Green, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Southampton.
A clean in Bassett Green covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a smaller place like Bassett Green, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. 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.
Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the quote in Bassett Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system

Why act early in Bassett Green
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Bassett Green than wait for a failure.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Each visit written up, with photos
- In business since 2009

Kitchen extract cleaning in Bassett Green: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Bassett Green. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. There are about 105 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 57 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bassett Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Bassett Green is covered by 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal South Hants Hospital about 1.9 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a café or takeaway near Swaythling station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Visits to a place like Bassett Green are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Questions from Bassett Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bassett Green?
Kitchens in Bassett Green are inspected by Southampton council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Bassett Green?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Bassett Green gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. 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. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
When to call us in Bassett Green
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Bassett Green, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Alban's Church or elsewhere in Bassett Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
