TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hook
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with grease drips onto cooking equipment and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help. Most calls from Hook come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a smaller place like Hook, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Common questions in Hook
Can the work in Hook be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Hook keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Hook?
Food hygiene inspections in Hook are carried out by Hart council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Hook?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hook and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Hook
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Hook: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hook. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in Hook. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hook 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Hook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you cook for passing trade around Hook station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. For schools such as Hook Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Hook is about 5 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Hook gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Hook among them. We also work in Reading, around 11 miles away.
Here we cover the RG27 postcode area for kitchen extract cleaning. Kitchen extract cleaning is available to premises on London Road, Station Road and Rookswood Close and nearby roads. You will find Hook on the B3349, so it’s easy for us to get to for out-of-hours visits. If your site is just outside Hook, we cover Hook Common (1 mile south-west), Murrell Green (1 mile east), Warnborough Green (1 mile south), Newnham (1 mile west) and Nately Scures (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (6 miles west), Farnborough (8 miles east), Fleet (5 miles east), Aldershot (9 miles east), Alton (9 miles south) and Yateley (7 miles north-east).
Around Hook
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Robert May's School. Hook has its own railway station: Hook station. Nearby you will also find Odiham Castle (1.6 miles south) and West Green House Agricultural Museum (1.6 miles north-east). Open spaces near Hook include Tundry Hill and Dogmersfield Lake.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. 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. A site near Hook that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Around Hook, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
