About our kitchen extract cleaning in Lord's Wood
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Lord's Wood, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Lord's Wood it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Lord's Wood starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lord's Wood and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Lord's Wood kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Lord's Wood, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Lord's Wood is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Lord's Wood. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Colden Common Primary School or anywhere near Lord's Wood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4.1 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Lord's Wood is about 2 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire.

Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Lord's Wood among them. Southampton is in our area too, around 6 miles away.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing

Lord's Wood questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Lord's Wood?
That’s 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.
Can you come to Lord's Wood after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Lord's Wood can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What is 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.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we’re called out for in Lord's Wood
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital about 4.1 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the quote in Lord's Wood
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
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.
