Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Curdridge
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. 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.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Work in a small place like Curdridge starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep grease collection points emptied
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.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What else we do in Curdridge
What affects the quote in Curdridge
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Curdridge questions
Do you work at weekends in Curdridge?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Curdridge keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Curdridge?
In Curdridge, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Curdridge before we set off.
- 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 any work starts.
- 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
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.
Curdridge kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Curdridge. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. The fire and rescue service for Curdridge is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Curdridge get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you cook for passing trade around Botley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Curdridge is Knowle Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Curdridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Local landmarks in Curdridge

Why deal with it now?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must 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. Somewhere as small as Curdridge, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
