Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Lower Burgate
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Lower Burgate, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help. Kitchens in Lower Burgate book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
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 readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Lower Burgate, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Common questions in Lower Burgate
Do you work in villages like Lower Burgate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lower Burgate?
In Lower Burgate, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. A fault that closes a site in a village like Lower Burgate affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Lower Burgate
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Lower Burgate. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Lower Burgate sits within the area of 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. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lower Burgate. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Breamore House is about 2.2 miles north), access may need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Lower Burgate, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like The Burgate School and Sixth Form for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wash or exchange the filters often
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The timing of a visit to Lower Burgate is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
