Kitchen extract cleaning in Gosport, Hampshire

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Gosport?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Look out for any of the following:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mark or elsewhere in Gosport, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Gosport
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Gosport, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. Common call-outs are for a system with no record of a TR19 clean and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, on discharge points, vertical risers and plenums and filters. Most calls from Gosport come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Gosport starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Gosport.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Gosport: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Gosport?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Gosport. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Gosport within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What affects the quote in Gosport
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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.

Why act early in Gosport
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Gosport rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Gosport kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars across Gosport and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Gosport sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Gosport. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Gosport is Romsey Community Hospital, about 2.2 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ampfield Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page (6 miles or so).
