How it works

- We survey the system, from your photos 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.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Hamble-le-Rice
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Hamble-le-Rice give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include missing paperwork after a change of operator and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on horizontal duct runs, discharge points and plenums and filters. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hamble-le-Rice, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Hamble-le-Rice gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Grease, kitchens and Hamble-le-Rice
Hamble-le-Rice lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 pubs and bars across Hamble-le-Rice and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Hamble-le-Rice get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Hamble Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Hamble-le-Rice, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why deal with it now?

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

What else we do in Hamble-le-Rice
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.

When to call us in Hamble-le-Rice
In Hamble-le-Rice, 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
A kitchen near Hamble station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

FAQs for Hamble-le-Rice
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hamble-le-Rice?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hamble-le-Rice. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Hamble-le-Rice?
It can. Salt air reaches Hamble-le-Rice, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
