Kentsboro kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for Kentsboro, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Kentsboro
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are stale cooking odours from the system and poor airflow at the canopy. When a restaurant in Kentsboro asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Kentsboro goes.
In a village or hamlet like Kentsboro, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Kentsboro
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For kitchen extract cleaning in Kentsboro, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Kitchen extracts in Kentsboro
Food hygiene inspections in Kentsboro are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Kentsboro. 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.
For kitchens in and around Kentsboro, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Kentsboro, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Kentsboro?
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
