Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Cole Henley
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Cole Henley, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Common problems we fix in Cole Henley
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Cole Henley, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Testbourne Community School or anywhere near Cole Henley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Cole Henley, done properly
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease smells coming from the extract, on extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Cole Henley usually mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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.
Work in a small place like Cole Henley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Cole Henley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Cole Henley
Cole Henley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Cole Henley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A TR19® clean in Cole Henley doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
