About our kitchen extract cleaning in Churt
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a system with no record of a TR19 clean and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Most kitchens in Churt fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a village or hamlet like Churt, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Churt.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Churt: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Churt?
The local authority for Churt is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in Churt?
Yes, Churt is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
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. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Churt?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Churt kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Churt. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Churt. 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. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Churt. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 4.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Churt, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St John's CofE Aided Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Churt is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
