Hampshire · Kitchen extract cleaning
Liss Forest kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning across Liss Forest and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Stale cooking odours from the system
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Liss Forest
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you’re dealing with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Liss Forest, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Hampshire.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
For a kitchen in or near Liss Forest, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Liss Forest before we set off.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Liss Forest: your questions answered
Can you come to Liss Forest after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Liss Forest?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Liss Forest
In Liss Forest, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Saviour's or elsewhere in Liss Forest, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Liss Forest: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Liss Forest and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Liss Forest falls to 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. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Liss Forest. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
