How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Hillstreet
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and discharge points, and people most often call us about rancid smells from grease in the duct and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Hillstreet: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Hillstreet starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Hillstreet: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Hillstreet. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in and around Hillstreet, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hillstreet. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hillstreet is Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 1.1 miles south-west. School kitchens, at schools like Calmore Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Anne's, or anywhere in Hillstreet, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside 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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
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 leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hillstreet.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hillstreet
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Common questions in Hillstreet
Which fire service covers Hillstreet?
Fire safety enforcement in Hillstreet is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you come out to Hillstreet?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hillstreet is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
