Kitchen extract cleaning in Bordon, Hampshire
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for commercial sites in Bordon and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Bordon
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Bordon, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you’re dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can put it right, from vertical risers, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Bordon start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a smaller kitchen near Bordon, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why act early in Bordon
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bordon
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Bordon
There are about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Bordon, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bordon. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Bordon falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Bordon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bordon, about 0.6 miles south.

Common questions in Bordon
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bordon?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bordon. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in Bordon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Bordon can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Bordon
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bordon Infant School or anywhere near Bordon, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a place like Bordon, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
