How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to East Meon can be planned properly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in East Meon
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in East Meon, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
A clean in East Meon covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like East Meon, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we’re called out for in East Meon
In East Meon, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to East Meon, about 4 miles east.
What to look for in a quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
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.
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. 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. It’s simpler to plan the work at East Meon now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
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 play a part.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in East Meon
Which council inspects kitchens in East Meon?
The local authority for East Meon is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can the work in East Meon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
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. Your quote says how long to expect.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
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.
