How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Holybourne
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and grease smells coming from the extract, across discharge points, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. Kitchens in Holybourne book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Holybourne goes.
In a village or hamlet like Holybourne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere as small as Holybourne, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- 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.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Holybourne questions
Can you come to Holybourne after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Holybourne?
In Holybourne, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is Holybourne in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Holybourne.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How long will the clean take?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Why deal with it now?
If your kitchen in Holybourne is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. In a small place like Holybourne, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Holybourne
There are about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 15 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Holybourne, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holybourne. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Holybourne is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bentworth Hall is about 4.6 miles west), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Rood Church, or anywhere in Holybourne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Local landmarks in Holybourne
In Holybourne, that means kitchens and buildings near White Hart pub, Eggar's School and Treloar School. For rail, the closest station is Alton station, about 1.2 miles south-west.

Common problems we fix in Holybourne
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Holybourne is Alton Community Hospital, about 2.4 miles south-west.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Other services in Holybourne
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep grease collection points emptied
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
