Kitchen extract cleaning around Hill Brow
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Hill Brow and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Hill Brow are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hill Brow is covered by 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Liss Junior School or anywhere near Hill Brow, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Rake Mission Church or elsewhere in Hill Brow, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hill Brow
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Hill Brow, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Hill Brow covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A planned visit to Hill Brow is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.

What else we do in Hill Brow
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hill Brow.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep grease collection points emptied
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Hill Brow: your questions answered
Will you come out to Hill Brow?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hill Brow included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Hill Brow?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Hill Brow doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What we’re called out for in Hill Brow
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hill Brow is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 3.5 miles south-west.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
