Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in East Boldre
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from East Boldre start: a system that is 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, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as East Boldre, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near East Boldre, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
FAQs for East Boldre
Does the sea air around East Boldre make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, East Boldre gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which fire authority looks after East Boldre?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long will the clean take?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
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. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in East Boldre
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Look out for any of the following:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
For schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What insurance they carry
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Kitchen extracts in East Boldre
East Boldre lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up East Boldre on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across East Boldre and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. The fire and rescue service for East Boldre is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 4.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Paul, or anywhere in East Boldre, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
