- Grease smells coming from the extract
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Hale Common is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hale Common affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Hale Common
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and fat running down the canopy edge. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Hale Common, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Hale Common goes well beyond the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Hale Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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 photos, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Hale Common: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Hale Common?
Yes, Hale Common is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Hale Common?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Hale Common kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Hale Common. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Hale Common on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hale Common. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Hale Common is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Historic houses near Hale Common, such as Haseley Manor about 0.9 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. School kitchens, at schools like Newchurch Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere like Hale Common, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hale Common
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children is the nearest hospital to Hale Common, about 2.4 miles south-east.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
