TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hambledon
Any kitchen we clean in Hambledon gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and grease smells coming from the extract, across discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Hambledon, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a small place like Hambledon, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hambledon.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Why act early in Hambledon
TR19® isn’t 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. If the system at a site near Hambledon fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Hambledon: the local picture
Hambledon is about 58 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Fire safety in Hambledon falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Alexandra Hospital about 5.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Hambledon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Hambledon Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Hambledon is about 4 miles north-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Hambledon and the rest of Hampshire.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Hambledon: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hambledon?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will you come out to Hambledon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hambledon is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you quote from photos?
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. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
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. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.

Other services in Hambledon
Different parts, different methods
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.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What affects the quote in Hambledon
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
