Kitchen duct cleaning in Boarhunt
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have missing paperwork after a change of operator and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can put it right, from extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Boarhunt typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a small place like Boarhunt, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Boarhunt
At about 2 miles from the coast, Boarhunt is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Boarhunt. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Boarhunt. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Boarhunt, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Cams Hill School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Boarhunt
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 2.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before you book anyone
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
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.
What affects the quote in Boarhunt
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For kitchen extract cleaning in Boarhunt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The timing of a visit to Boarhunt is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a 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.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Leave it or put it right?

Common questions in Boarhunt
Can a school canteen extract in Boarhunt be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Boarhunt. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Boarhunt?
It can. Salt air reaches Boarhunt, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Do you work in Boarhunt?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Boarhunt.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.

What else we do in Boarhunt
Part by part
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
