Kitchen extract cleaning in Freemantle
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Freemantle, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include a kitchen taken over without any extract records and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A clean in Freemantle covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a smaller place like Freemantle, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Tell us when your site near Freemantle is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Managing agents and facilities teams in Freemantle
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Freemantle: the local picture
Freemantle lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 67 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 21 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Freemantle, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Freemantle. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Western Community Hospital about 1.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Freemantle, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Freemantle Church of England Community Academy or anywhere near Freemantle, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Freemantle is about 1 mile west of Southampton, in Southampton. Across the SO15 area, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Freemantle is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover for kitchen extract cleaning.

Local landmarks in Freemantle
Around Freemantle, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near St Anne's Catholic School, Blechynden Terrace Park and The Brass Monkey pub and the streets around them.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Freemantle
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Booking now means the visit to Freemantle is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

Questions from Freemantle
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Freemantle?
The local authority for Freemantle is Southampton council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Freemantle?
Fire safety enforcement in Freemantle is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
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.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
