TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Langstone
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with rancid smells from grease in the duct and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Langstone, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a small place like Langstone, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. 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.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Langstone, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Grease, kitchens and Langstone
Sea air reaches Langstone, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 14 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in Langstone and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Langstone is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Warblington Castle is about 0.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Bosmere Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Questions from Langstone
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Langstone?
Langstone is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Langstone?
In Langstone, it’s Havant council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it 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 any work starts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
When to call us in Langstone
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Langstone, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 1.1 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
