What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Leagreen
At about 1 mile from the coast, Leagreen is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Leagreen. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Leagreen is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Leagreen (Highcliffe Castle is about 4.5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Leagreen, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Leagreen
Any kitchen we clean in Leagreen gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you’re dealing with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Leagreen and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Common problems we fix in Leagreen
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School or anywhere near Leagreen, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Questions from Leagreen
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Leagreen?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Leagreen gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which fire authority looks after Leagreen?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Leagreen. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Leagreen
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
