TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Harestock
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and stale cooking odours from the system. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Harestock start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a smaller place like Harestock, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside 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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Harestock
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Harestock?
Fire safety enforcement in Harestock is handled by 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.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Harestock in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 11 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Harestock, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Around Harestock, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Harestock kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 26 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 18 sandwich bars and takeaways across Harestock and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Harestock falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Harestock. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint Barnabas, or anywhere in Harestock, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Harestock Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
