Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bouldnor
Any kitchen we clean in Bouldnor gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include stale cooking odours from the system and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and discharge points. Kitchens in Bouldnor book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Bouldnor starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bouldnor
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Somewhere as small as Bouldnor, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Bouldnor kitchens: local notes
Bouldnor is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Bouldnor. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Fire safety in Bouldnor falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 5.2 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Bouldnor is about 5 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. For kitchen extract cleaning in and around Bouldnor, please call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote. Our area covers London and the South East, Bouldnor included. Across the Isle of Wight, we cover 125 places, and Bouldnor is one of them. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby (15 miles or so).
Work in PO41 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We cover sites on The Vineyard, Port La Salle and Waters Edge and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Yarmouth (1 mile west), Cranmore (1 mile east), Hamstead (2 miles north-east), Shalfleet (3 miles east) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (8 miles east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (14 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles south-east). Remote and island sites need a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote for kitchen extract cleaning.
Near you in Bouldnor
Around Bouldnor, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Bugle Hotel and the streets around them.

What else we do in Bouldnor
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Bouldnor
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Historic houses near Bouldnor, such as Mottistone Manor about 4.4 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Questions from Bouldnor
Is Bouldnor within the area you cover?
Yes. Bouldnor is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Bouldnor?
It can, as Bouldnor is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
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 we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you don’t lose a service.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bouldnor
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What affects the quote in Bouldnor
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bouldnor knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
