How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Hale
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Hale, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and people most often call us about stale cooking odours from the system and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. 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.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Hale, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hale, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
For kitchen extract cleaning in Hale, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by 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. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hale
Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hale. 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. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hale. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hale, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Hale Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hale?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hale. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you cover Hale?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Hale.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Hale?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.

Common problems we fix in Hale
In Hale, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Stale cooking odours from the system
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 2.5 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
