Grease, kitchens and Denmead
Look up Denmead on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops across Denmead and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Denmead falls to 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 Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Denmead. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Denmead Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Denmead, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Alexandra Hospital (about 3.5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Denmead, done properly
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Denmead give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are grease smells coming from the extract and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Denmead, you get one team and one number for every site.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Denmead goes.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Denmead gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is 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.

What else we do in Denmead
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Common questions in Denmead
Is Denmead within the area you cover?
Yes, Denmead is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Denmead outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Denmead does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Visits to a place like Denmead are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A site near Denmead that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- We’re fully insured

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
