TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Longstock
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Longstock, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. Common call-outs are for extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, on vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Longstock start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a village or hamlet like Longstock, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why it’s worth doing now in Longstock
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Longstock
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
What we do, step by step
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 job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Longstock knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

FAQs for Longstock
Can you come to Longstock after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Longstock needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Longstock?
Fire safety enforcement in Longstock is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Longstock
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Longstock. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Longstock falls to 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Longstock, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 5.8 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Test Valley School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
