TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Holt End
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Holt End? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
When to call us in Holt End
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's Bentworth Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Holt End
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have a system with no record of a TR19 clean and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Holt End, you get one team and one number for every site.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Holt End goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Holt End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Holt End.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Why act early in Holt End
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Holt End is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London

What affects the quote in Holt End
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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 play a part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Grease, kitchens and Holt End
In Holt End, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Holt End, about 48 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Holt End, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Holt End (Bentworth Hall is about 0.3 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

Holt End: your questions answered
Can you come to Holt End after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Holt End keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers Holt End?
In Holt End, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How long will the clean take?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
