Kitchen extract cleaning in Frogham, Hampshire
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Frogham? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Frogham is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. In a place like Frogham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Frogham
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you are dealing with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Frogham, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Kitchen extracts in Frogham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Frogham. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Frogham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Frogham get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Breamore House, about 4 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Frogham; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Ascension or anywhere around Frogham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common problems we fix in Frogham
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
School kitchens, at schools like Hyde Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Frogham.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For kitchen extract cleaning in Frogham, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
Frogham questions
Which fire service covers Frogham?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Frogham?
Yes, Frogham is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
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 long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
