Kitchen extract cleaning in Damerham
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. We are often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, on canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Damerham 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Damerham
Do you work overnight in Damerham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Damerham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Damerham?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. 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.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Damerham?
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. 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. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Breamore House, about 3.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Damerham; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Why act early in Damerham
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s simpler to plan the work at Damerham now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
