- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Hungerford knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Kitchen duct cleaning in Hungerford
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. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy or filters and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, across canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hungerford, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Hungerford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What else we do in Hungerford
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hungerford
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hungerford?
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. 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 any of the following:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hyde Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Hungerford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- When the next visit should be, and why
Why act early in Hungerford
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Hungerford: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs across Hungerford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hungerford is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Hungerford get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Ascension, or anywhere in Hungerford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Hungerford, such as Breamore House about 4.3 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Hungerford
Can you come to Hungerford after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Hungerford doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Hungerford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hungerford included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
