Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little London
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can put it right, from vertical risers, extract fans and canopies and hoods onwards. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Little London, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
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 London goes well beyond the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Little London, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A planned visit to Little London is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Little London kitchens: local notes
Little London is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Little London. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary 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; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Little London, about 2.7 miles south-west.
Little London is about 3 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Little London or further out, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Little London can be planned properly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Little London
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Little London, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Questions from Little London
Can you come to Little London after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Little London keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Little London?
Kitchens in Little London are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Little London?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
