Kitchen extract cleaning in Hurstbourne Priors, done properly
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 extra access panels can be added. We’re often asked to deal with missing paperwork after a change of operator and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hurstbourne Priors, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Most kitchens in Hurstbourne Priors fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Hurstbourne Priors starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hurstbourne Priors questions
Who inspects food businesses in Hurstbourne Priors?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hurstbourne Priors. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can the work in Hurstbourne Priors be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hurstbourne Priors needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What if parts of the system cannot 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.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What affects the quote in Hurstbourne Priors
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hurstbourne Priors, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.

A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 5.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The timing of a visit to Hurstbourne Priors is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area

Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos 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.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Common problems we fix in Hurstbourne Priors
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Testbourne Community School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Why act early in Hurstbourne Priors
Any food business in Hurstbourne Priors can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Planning a trip to Hurstbourne Priors ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
