Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Headley
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. We are often asked to deal with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers. When a restaurant in Headley asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Headley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Grease, kitchens and Headley
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Headley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Headley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Headley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Headley is Chase Community Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-west. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Headley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Headley run smoothly.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give 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.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
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.
Common problems we fix in Headley
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
School kitchens, at schools like The Holme Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Headley
Do you work in villages like Headley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Headley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Headley can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What happens if it’s left?
If your kitchen in Headley is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
