Little Holbury kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for Little Holbury, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Little Holbury run smoothly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Little Holbury
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 each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and people most often call us about cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Little Holbury normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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 Holbury goes well beyond the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Little Holbury, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

More services for Little Holbury
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Little Holbury?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Historic houses near Little Holbury, such as Beaulieu Palace House about 2.8 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

FAQs for Little Holbury
Is Little Holbury within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Little Holbury included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Little Holbury?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Little Holbury gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A fault that closes a site in a village like Little Holbury affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Little Holbury: the local picture
Sea air reaches Little Holbury, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Little Holbury, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Little Holbury is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Manor Church of England Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Coldeast is the nearest hospital to Little Holbury, about 5.3 miles north-east.
Little Holbury is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire.
