Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hatherden?
Food hygiene inspections in Hatherden are carried out by Test Valley council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Hatherden
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. 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. If you’re dealing with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Hatherden asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in Hatherden fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a village or hamlet like Hatherden, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hatherden before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs

Kitchen extract cleaning in Hatherden: the local picture
Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Hatherden. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hatherden 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hatherden is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.6 miles south. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christchurch or elsewhere in Hatherden, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hatherden Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Hatherden, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hatherden
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
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.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
