How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Durley
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you’re dealing with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can put it right, from discharge points, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters onwards. Most calls from Durley come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Durley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Grease, kitchens and Durley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Durley. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Durley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers 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. The fire and rescue service for Durley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Cross, or anywhere in Durley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moorgreen Hospital (about 2.8 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Durley Church of England Controlled Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Common questions in Durley
Who inspects food businesses in Durley?
The local authority for Durley is Winchester City 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.
Which fire authority looks after Durley?
Durley is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Durley run smoothly.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Durley is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Full insurance on every job
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A written report with photos after each visit

What affects the quote in Durley
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
