Kitchen extract cleaning in Hartley Wintney, done properly
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Common call-outs are for grease smells coming from the extract and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on extract fans, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Most calls from Hartley Wintney come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Kitchens around a place like Hartley Wintney are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.

Advice
FAQs for Hartley Wintney
Which fire service covers Hartley Wintney?
Hartley Wintney is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hartley Wintney?
The local authority for Hartley Wintney is Hart council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you cover Hartley Wintney?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Hartley Wintney included.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hartley Wintney
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.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
