TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Clayhall
Kitchen extract cleaning across Clayhall and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Clayhall
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease drips onto cooking equipment. Most calls from Clayhall 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.
For a smaller kitchen near Clayhall, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Clayhall and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
FAQs for Clayhall
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Clayhall?
The local authority for Clayhall is Gosport council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Clayhall?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Clayhall. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Clayhall
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

When to call us in Clayhall
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Haselworth Primary School or anywhere near Clayhall, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether VAT is included

Kitchen extract cleaning around Clayhall
The coast is only about 1 mile from Clayhall. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records include about 40 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Clayhall. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Clayhall, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Gosport council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Francis or elsewhere in Clayhall, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (about 1 mile north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clayhall
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Even a site near Clayhall that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
