Kitchen extract cleaning in Liphook
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you have ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and poor airflow at the canopy, we can help. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Liphook, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Liphook: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a smaller place like Liphook, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Liphook
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Liphook?
Liphook is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Liphook?
Kitchens in Liphook are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
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.
Do you cover Liphook?
Yes. We cover Liphook and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can one contract cover all our 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.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Your opening hours decide when we come to Liphook, not ours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Liphook
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Liphook kitchens: local notes
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Liphook, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. The fire and rescue service for Liphook is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Liphook get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bohunt School or anywhere near Liphook, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a café or takeaway near Liphook station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Common problems we fix in Liphook
A kitchen in Liphook builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 3.3 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
