Kitchen extract cleaning in Bull Hill

How the job changes from site to site

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.

Grease filters

Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Bull Hill, done properly

A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help, from extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Bull Hill covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.

BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we are called out for in Bull Hill

A kitchen in Bull Hill builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
  • Stale cooking odours from the system
  • A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
  • An extract that no longer clears the smoke

School kitchens, at schools like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What your quote should include

  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • What insurance they carry
  • Whether a survey comes first

Questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Keep the baffle filters clean
  • Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
  • Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy

We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.

Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • The scale of the work
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • What state the system is in
  • How easy every part is to reach

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

What we need to know

When you call or email, it’s useful to have:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • A few general shots of the system

Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What happens on the day

Protection comes first: 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 we clear up before we go. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bull Hill knowing what to expect.

  1. Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
  4. The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Kitchen extract cleaning around Bull Hill

Bull Hill lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Bull Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Bull Hill sits within the area of 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.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 1.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Historic houses near Bull Hill, such as Beaulieu Palace House about 3.9 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Bull Hill is about 2 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Bull Hill, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning.

What happens if it’s left?

TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to 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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bull Hill affects everyone who depends on it.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Questions from Bull Hill

Which fire authority looks after Bull Hill?

Bull Hill is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Can you get to a site in Bull Hill?

Yes. Bull Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

How do you protect the area?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.

What accreditations do you hold?

We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.

What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?

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.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

Will the clean disrupt our service?

Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you don’t lose a service.
