Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Filmore Hill
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Filmore Hill, typically within one working day. If you’re dealing with grease drips onto cooking equipment and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help, from canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Filmore Hill start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a village or hamlet like Filmore Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Filmore Hill?
In Filmore Hill, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
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 Filmore Hill, about 5.6 miles south-east.

How the visit works
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 a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Filmore Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease, kitchens and Filmore Hill
In Filmore Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Filmore Hill, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Filmore Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Hinton Ampner House, about 4.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Filmore Hill; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

Common questions in Filmore Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Filmore Hill?
Yes. Filmore Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire service covers Filmore Hill?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Filmore Hill. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Why deal with it now?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Planning a trip to Filmore Hill ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
