Kitchen extraction cleaning in Ellisfield
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for commercial sites in Ellisfield and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Ellisfield and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Ellisfield
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. We are often asked to deal with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Ellisfield normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Ellisfield, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Ellisfield is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Ellisfield questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ellisfield?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ellisfield. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Ellisfield?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Ellisfield needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a 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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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, which slows build-up further down the system.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods

When to call us in Ellisfield
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hall Place is about 3.9 miles south), access may need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
