TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Butlocks Heath
Kitchen extract cleaning for Butlocks Heath and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Why deal with it now?
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. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. In a small place like Butlocks Heath, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fully insured
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Butlocks Heath
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Butlocks Heath, usually within one working day. If you have a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Butlocks Heath it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Butlocks Heath
Who is the fire and rescue service for Butlocks Heath?
That’s 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.
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Butlocks Heath?
It can, as Butlocks Heath is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Grease, kitchens and Butlocks Heath
At about 1 mile from the coast, Butlocks Heath is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 13 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Butlocks Heath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Butlocks Heath get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Netley Abbey Infant School or anywhere near Butlocks Heath, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coldeast about 2.6 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Butlocks Heath
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Butlocks Heath, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Related advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Butlocks Heath
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If you cook for passing trade around Netley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
