Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Catisfield
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Catisfield give you that record for the maintenance log. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can help, from extract fans, vertical risers and canopies and hoods onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Catisfield, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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.
For a smaller kitchen near Catisfield, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the baffle filters clean
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A site near Catisfield normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Kitchen extracts in Catisfield
Catisfield lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Catisfield. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Fareham council inspect food businesses in Catisfield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Catisfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 2.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Catisfield
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate

When to call us in Catisfield
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ranvilles Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Catisfield: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Catisfield be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 16 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Catisfield. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Catisfield?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Catisfield gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
