Kitchen extract cleaning in Fullerton, done properly
Across Fullerton, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Fullerton, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Fullerton: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Fullerton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Fullerton
Who is the fire and rescue service for Fullerton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Fullerton. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fullerton?
Food hygiene inspections in Fullerton are carried out by Test Valley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you quote from pictures?
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.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
What affects the quote in Fullerton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Fullerton kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Fullerton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Fullerton. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Fullerton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Fullerton is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.6 miles north. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Fullerton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Multi-site and managed buildings

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Fullerton run smoothly.

Other services in Fullerton
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
