Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hordle
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and poor airflow at the canopy. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Hordle it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a smaller kitchen near Hordle, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Hordle can normally be finished without a second trip.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common questions in Hordle
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hordle in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hordle. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Does the sea air around Hordle make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
It can, as Hordle is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you cover Hordle?
Yes. We work in Hordle and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Hordle kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Hordle. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Hordle, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Food hygiene inspections in Hordle are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hordle, about 3.3 miles east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Hordle, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Hordle is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO41, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Hordle is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for kitchen extract cleaning. We also work in Southampton, about 15 miles from Hordle.
Work in SO41 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as Yerville Gardens, Acacia Road and Woodlands, all of which we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. Close by, we work in Downton (1 mile south), Leagreen (1 mile south), Ashley (1 mile west), Tiptoe (2 miles north) and New Milton (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Totton (12 miles north-east), Lymington (3 miles east), Hythe (12 miles north-east), Ringwood (9 miles north-west), Dibden Purlieu (11 miles north-east) and Marchwood (12 miles north-east).

Well-known places in the area include Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (2.4 miles west) and Highcliffe Castle (4.4 miles west). The countryside around Hordle includes Milford on Sea LNR.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hordle
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. 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. For a kitchen in Hordle, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
