Kitchen extract cleaning in Cheriton, done properly
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Cheriton, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Cheriton goes.
Work in a small place like Cheriton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What else we do in Cheriton
Why it’s worth doing now in Cheriton
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. With notice, the visit to Cheriton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

When to call us in Cheriton
The reason for all this is fire. 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. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cheriton (Hinton Ampner House is about 0.8 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Cheriton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Cheriton. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cheriton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Cheriton 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Cheriton Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Cheriton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Cheriton: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Cheriton?
Yes. Cheriton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Cheriton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Cheriton. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
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.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cheriton.
- 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, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
