Kitchen duct cleaning in Harbridge
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you are dealing with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help, from discharge points, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Harbridge it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
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 Harbridge goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Harbridge: the local picture
Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Harbridge. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Harbridge sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like St Leonard's Hospital, about 5.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Harbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Harbridge is about 3 miles north of Ringwood, in Hampshire. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Harbridge and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Harbridge is one of them. We also work in Southampton, about 18 miles from Harbridge.

Local landmarks in Harbridge
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Old Beams Inn and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Fordingbridge Doll Museum (2.6 miles north) and St Leonard's Hospital (5.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Linbrook Lake and Blashford Lakes.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Harbridge: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Harbridge?
Kitchens in Harbridge are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work at weekends in Harbridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Harbridge can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is Harbridge in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Harbridge included.
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. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Why act early in Harbridge
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. In a place like Harbridge, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Harbridge and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wash or exchange the filters often
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Harbridge run smoothly.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
