Kitchen extract cleaning in Haslar, done properly
Across Haslar, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can help, from canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Haslar start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as Haslar, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

What else we do in Haslar
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Haslar
Haslar lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 64 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 24 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Haslar, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Haslar sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Haselworth Primary School or anywhere near Haslar, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Francis or anywhere around Haslar, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Haslar as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Somewhere as small as Haslar, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What we’re called out for in Haslar
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital about 1.2 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Questions from Haslar
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Haslar?
It can. Haslar is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can a school canteen extract in Haslar be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 17 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Haslar, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
