Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Fawley Bottom
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 a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and extract fans, and people most often call us about a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Most kitchens in Fawley Bottom fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Fawley Bottom, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

FAQs for Fawley Bottom
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Fawley Bottom?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Fawley Bottom. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you work in Fawley Bottom outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Fawley Bottom needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Why act early in Fawley Bottom
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Fawley Bottom is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
What we’re called out for in Fawley Bottom
In Fawley Bottom, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary the Virgin's Church or anywhere around Fawley Bottom, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
