Hampshire · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in Chineham, Hampshire
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for commercial sites in Chineham and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the baffle filters clean
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chineham
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with rancid smells from grease in the duct and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can put it right. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
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 smaller place like Chineham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in Chineham
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When to call us in Chineham
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 2.6 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Chineham when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Chineham: your questions answered
Is Chineham within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Chineham included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Chineham?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Chineham. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
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. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Kitchen extracts in Chineham
There are about 32 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chineham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chineham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Chineham is 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (The Vyne is about 2 miles north-west), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church Chineham or anywhere around Chineham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
