Kitchen duct cleaning in Brighton Hill
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. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and extract fans, and people most often call us about extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Brighton Hill, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Hampshire.
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 readings afterwards go into your report.
For a smaller kitchen near Brighton Hill, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a site near Brighton Hill, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part 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
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Why act early in Brighton Hill
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A site near Brighton Hill that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
When to call us in Brighton Hill
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 Brighton Hill, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Kitchen extracts in Brighton Hill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 18 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in and around Brighton Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Brighton Hill sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Brighton Hill are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 2.1 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Church Of Christ The King or anywhere around Brighton Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common questions in Brighton Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Brighton Hill?
Yes. Brighton Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Brighton Hill?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Brighton Hill. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
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. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
