TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Highcliffe
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and stale cooking odours from the system. When a restaurant in Highcliffe asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Highcliffe goes.
In a smaller place like Highcliffe, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Highcliffe
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Highcliffe
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 112 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 22 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Highcliffe. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Highcliffe. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Highcliffe are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints or anywhere around Highcliffe, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St John's Rooms And Chapel is the nearest hospital to Highcliffe, about less than half a mile north-west.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Highcliffe
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Highcliffe in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 9 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Highcliffe. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Is Highcliffe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Around Highcliffe, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
