Holbury kitchen extract cleaning
For kitchen extract cleaning in Holbury, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Holbury
Across Holbury, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can help. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Holbury covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Holbury: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Holbury gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Holbury questions
Which fire service covers Holbury?
Fire safety enforcement in Holbury is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can school kitchens in Holbury be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Holbury, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Holbury
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Holbury (Beaulieu Palace House is about 2.9 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
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. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Kitchen extracts in Holbury
Holbury is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Holbury and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Holbury is covered by 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coldeast about 5.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cadland Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
