About our kitchen extract cleaning in Kimbridge
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. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans, and people most often call us about heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Most calls from Kimbridge 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.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 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.
In a village or hamlet like Kimbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Kimbridge, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Kimbridge
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Kimbridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Kimbridge. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Kimbridge sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Kimbridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital about 3.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When to call us in Kimbridge
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A kitchen near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

FAQs for Kimbridge
Can you get to a site in Kimbridge?
Yes. Kimbridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Kimbridge?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
What affects the quote in Kimbridge
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
