Little Ann kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning across Little Ann and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Planning a trip to Little Ann ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Little Ann
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Little Ann, normally within one working day. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Little Ann it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Little Ann goes well beyond the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Little Ann, 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’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. For a village or hamlet like Little Ann, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

FAQs for Little Ann
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Little Ann during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Little Ann. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire authority looks after Little Ann?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Little Ann. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much 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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Little Ann
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

What we’re called out for in Little Ann
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Little Ann, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
