What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: 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 will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Calshot
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are missing paperwork after a change of operator and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Most calls from Calshot come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
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 the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a small place like Calshot, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
What we are called out for in Calshot
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coldeast about 4.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the baffle filters clean
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Calshot
Who is the fire and rescue service for Calshot?
Fire safety enforcement in Calshot is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which environmental health team covers Calshot?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Calshot. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Calshot, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning around Calshot
Sea air reaches Calshot, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Calshot. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Calshot. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near St George, or anywhere in Calshot, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Osborne House is about 4.9 miles south-east), access may need planning.
