Kitchen extract cleaning around Landport
At about 1 mile from the coast, Landport is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 98 pubs and bars and about 17 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Landport. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Portsmouth council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Landport. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Ark Dickens Primary Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Landport, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Landport
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you are dealing with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Landport covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Landport goes well beyond the canopy.
For a smaller kitchen near Landport, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. In a place like Landport, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Landport questions
Which fire authority looks after Landport?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Landport. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is Landport within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Landport included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Landport?

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Landport
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

When to call us in Landport
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
If you run a café or takeaway near Portsmouth & Southsea station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
