About our kitchen extract cleaning in Liss
Across Liss, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Liss asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Liss gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Kitchen extracts in Liss
Look up Liss on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Liss and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Fire safety in Liss falls to 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. In Liss, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Liss, about 3.6 miles south-west. School kitchens, at schools like Liss Infant School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Liss is about 3 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Liss and the rest of Hampshire. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. We also work in Portsmouth, about 18 miles from Liss.

Common problems we fix in Liss
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.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Liss, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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 photos, so each one has its own record.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a smaller place like Liss, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Liss: your questions answered
Can you come to Liss after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Liss?
That is 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.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is Liss in your area?
Yes. Liss is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep grease collection points emptied
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
